Question 836Navigation General

The correct answer is D) on the storm track behind the center. The reasoning is that in the Northern Hemisphere, the wind direction around a hurricane remains steady but with diminishing velocity as you move away from the center of the storm and behind it. This is because you are moving from the right semicircle of the hurricane, which has the strongest winds, to the left semicircle, where the winds are weaker. Being on the storm track behind the center indicates that you are in the weaker, left semicircle of the hurricane. The other options are incorrect because being ahead of the center (A) would mean you are in the right semicircle with stronger winds, and being in the left (C) or right (B) semicircle does not necessarily indicate a steady wind direction with diminishing velocity.
