🔍 Key Concepts

• Structure of a hurricane – eye, eyewall, surrounding rain bands • Wind and sea conditions near the eye – how wind speed and direction change as you move into and through the eye • Barometric pressure behavior – where the lowest pressure is found in a hurricane

💭 Think About

• Think about what actually happens in the eye itself compared to the eyewall – are winds strongest or weaker there? • Consider how barometric pressure changes as you move toward the center of a hurricane: where will the pressure be lowest? • As a vessel passes into, through, and out of the eye, how would the wind direction and sea state logically change?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where the lowest barometric pressure is located in a hurricane system. • Consider whether seas inside the eye are typically very confused and heavy, or if that is more characteristic of the eyewall and surrounding areas. • Check whether wind speed and direction change abruptly as the eye passes, and whether that implies increasing, decreasing, or temporarily lighter winds in the actual eye.
