Question 1334Navigation General

The correct answer is A) decrease in the pressure of the system. A slowly falling aneroid barometer within a stationary high-pressure area indicates a decrease in the pressure of the system. In high-pressure systems, air sinks, which causes the pressure to decrease gradually over time. This is in contrast to a low-pressure system, where the pressure would be rising as the system approaches. The other options are incorrect because a wind shift of 180 degrees (B) and a large increase in wind velocity (C) are not directly indicated by a slowly falling barometer in a high-pressure system. An increase in the intensity of the system (D) would typically be associated with a more rapid decrease in pressure, not a slow decrease.
