🔍 Key Concepts

• On surface analysis charts, wind speed is shown by barbs on the wind arrow • A full barb represents 10 knots and a half barb represents 5 knots • Wind direction is shown by where the staff points from, but this question only cares about wind speed

💭 Think About

• Count how many full and half barbs are attached to the wind arrow at position A • Convert the combination of full and half barbs into total knots using the standard values (full = 10 kt, half = 5 kt) • Match that total to the closest choice given in the answers

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are looking at the station model at A, not B, C, D, or E • Confirm you can clearly distinguish full vs. half barbs on the plotted wind arrow • Double-check your arithmetic when you add the barb values before choosing the answer
