Wrong answer in the test
Posted 2018, Jan 25 00:50
9. Which of the following is a POOR tactic in the northern hemisphere when a low pressure system traveling east is forecast ? head for the north side of the system Or head for the south side of the system Northern hemisphere, storms rotate counter clockwise. Storms in latitude 30-60 usually travel eastward. In this situation, the navigable side is the north side, the dangerous side is the south side. The POOR tactic is to head for the south side. The appropriate tactic would be to head for the north side of the system. This is oppose the "correct answer". 😕

I just tried downloading Windermap on my android phone and it is not available. When I clicked on the link in this module, it also said it was not available in my country (USA). Looks awesome though. I have been looking for an app with the isobars and fronts!

The links at the bottom of some pages are out of order but correct if using a mobile device. Use the "Table of Contents" to navigate in the right order.
