AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. When a vessel is on the storm track but behind the storm's center, the following conditions will occur: 1. Wind speed decreases as you move away from the storm's center. 2. Barometric pressure rises as the high-pressure system behind the storm's center approaches. 3.
