🔍 Key Concepts

• Hurricane semicircles in the Northern Hemisphere (dangerous vs navigable) • Relationship between storm motion and wind circulation around the eye • How we measure directions: from true north vs from storm track

💭 Think About

• First, recall which semicircle (right or left of the storm track in the Northern Hemisphere) is called the navigable semicircle and why it is relatively safer. • Think about whether this semicircle is defined relative to true north or relative to the direction the storm is moving. • Visualize standing at the storm center: which way are winds rotating in the Northern Hemisphere, and how does the storm’s direction of movement change the wind on each side?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know which side of the storm track is the navigable side and which is the dangerous side in the Northern Hemisphere. • Confirm whether semicircles of a hurricane are defined using true bearings or using the storm’s direction of advance. • Eliminate any options that talk about reference points that are clearly unrelated to standard hurricane semicircle definitions, such as from the bow of your vessel.
