Question 988Navigation General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. To estimate the position of a tropical storm's center, mariners can use a combination of methods: 1) Monitoring radio weather bulletins or weather fax transmissions provides official forecasts and updates on the storm's location and projected path. 2) Observing the wind direction and applying Buys Ballot's law can help determine the approximate location of the storm's center relative to the observer's position. 3) Using shipboard radar can also help track the storm and estimate its center by observing the strongest precipitation and wind bands. The combination of these methods - using all available information sources - provides the most accurate means for a mariner to estimate the position of a tropical storm's center.
