Question

Looking along the storm track curve on the non-snow precipitation map, during the storm's passage, the "warm" side would be generally to the ________ of the track.

a) North
b) South
c) East
d) West

Answer 1

The warm side of a storm track in the Northern Hemisphere is generally to the east of the track, where warmer air from the south is brought up by the storm's circulation.

This correct answer is c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking along the storm track curve on the non-snow precipitation map, during the storm's passage, the "warm" side would be generally to the east of the track.

Storm systems in the Northern Hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect.

As a result, on the 'warm' side of the storm track, the winds come from the south, bringing warmer air from lower latitudes. Therefore, the warm side is to the east where warm air is pulled up from the south.

This correct answer is c)
