Tropical Revolving Storms Flashcards
In the Dangerous Quadrant of a TRS in the Southern Hemisphere, as the storm approaches you would expect: (B/V, Speed Inc./Dec.)
the wind to back and increase in strength
What way Does a TRS rotate North and South Hem?
N - Anticlockwise
S - Clockwise
due to Coriolis
To cross the path of a TRS and enter the Navigable Semicircle in the Southern Hemisphere, steer a course with the wind
Port Quarter
The earliest warning of the presence of a TRS will usually be:
Larger than expected swell waves
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Dangerous Quadrant is:
Advance of the storm and right of path
The approximate angle of indraft when the wind is F8 is:
2 points
In the Dangerous Quadrant of a TRS in the Northern Hemisphere, as the storm approaches you would expect:
The wind to veer and increase in strength
The angle of indraft in the eye wall of a TRS is:
0 points
To cross the path of a TRS and enter the Navigable Semicircle in the Northern Hemisphere, steer a course with the wind:
Wind on the starboard quarter
In the Southern Hemisphere, the Dangerous Quadrant is:
Advance of the storm and left of path
