listen
if you are on the
ight - hand side\ of the tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere you experience the __________.
wind speed minus the storm motion
speed of the storm body plus the wind speed
lowest storm surge
storm motion only
In the Northern Hemisphere, on the "right - hand side" of a tropical cyclone, the wind speed and the speed of the storm's movement act in the same general direction. So the effective wind speed a person experiences is the sum of the wind speed within the cyclone and the speed of the storm's forward motion. The lowest storm surge is not on the right - hand side (it's more likely on the left - hand side in the Northern Hemisphere in some cases). And it's not just the storm motion (as there is wind within the cyclone) and not wind speed minus storm motion (since they add up in effect on the right - hand side).
