🔍 Key Concepts

• Cyclonic (counterclockwise) wind flow around a low-pressure center in the Northern Hemisphere • How wind follows isobars roughly parallel on a surface analysis chart • Difference between backing (counterclockwise shift) and veering (clockwise shift) of the wind

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the wind barb at position "D" – from what direction is the wind currently blowing? • If the low center moves northeast, will position "D" end up relatively more in front of, beside, or behind the low and its fronts? How would the circulation around the low turn the wind there? • Given that circulation, would the wind at "D" rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as time goes on?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the present wind direction at D from the plotted station model (remember, barbs point from the wind direction). • Decide whether the wind at D should shift clockwise (veering) or counterclockwise (backing) as the low tracks to the northeast. • Match your chosen rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) to the option that names the correct new compass direction.
