Question 186 Deck General
70% to passA vessel operating on the Great Lakes, and whose position is southeast of an eastward-moving storm center, would NOT experience _______________.
A
a northeast wind
B
a falling barometer
C
rain or snow
D
lowering clouds and drizzle
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) a northeast wind. When a vessel is southeast of an eastward-moving storm center on the Great Lakes, it would experience a southwest wind, not a northeast wind. This is because the wind direction in the southern quadrant of an eastward-moving storm system flows from the southwest. The other options (B, C, and D) are correct, as the vessel would experience a falling barometer, rain or snow, and lowering clouds and drizzle, which are typical weather patterns associated with the southern quadrant of an eastward-moving storm system.
