Question

. If you are on the "right-hand side" of the tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere you experience ____________________.

A. the speed of the storm body plus the wind speed
B. the wind speed minus the storm motion
C. the storm motion only
D. the wind speed but not the storm motion
E. eye-born pressure fluctuations

Answer 1

If you are on the 'right-hand side' of a tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere, b. you experience the wind speed minus the storm motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Northern Hemisphere, if you are on the 'right-hand side' of a tropical cyclone, b. you experience the wind speed minus the storm motion.

The Coriolis force causes hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, and the wind flowing into the low-pressure zone of a tropical cyclone is deflected to the right. Therefore, if you are on the right-hand side of the cyclone, the wind speed is reduced by the storm's motion.
