Answer:

Ascend

Step-by-step explanation:

In the eye wall air ascends from the surface to the tropopause. Pressure gradient is the strongest near the eye wall, where the most violent winds are produced. Strongest rainfall is also produced near the eye wall. Strongest storm surge occurs to the right of the hurricane.
