Question 694Navigation General
70% to passUsing the surface analysis in illustration D049NG below, what weather conditions would you expect to find at position A?
A
winds SW-S at 20 knots, heavy rain, and rough seas
B
Winds NW-W at 15 knots, partly cloudy, and slight seas
C
Winds NE-E at 20 knots, heavy rain, and rough seas
D
Winds calm, light rain, and calm seas
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Winds NW-W at 15 knots, partly cloudy, and slight seas. This is correct based on the surface analysis depicted in illustration D049NG. At position A, the isobars indicate a high pressure system, which typically brings calmer winds, partly cloudy skies, and slight seas. Winds in the northwestern quadrant of a high pressure system are generally NW-W at moderate speeds, which matches the conditions described in option B. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the typical weather patterns associated with a high pressure system at the given location on the surface analysis chart.
