Is the direction of wind within the storm the same as the overall direction of movement of the storm itself? How do you know?
The question is based on Figures 21-1, 21-2, 21-3, and 21-4, radar images of Raleigh, North Carolina, on November 7, 2006. The Doppler radar site in Raleigh is in the center of the image; north is to the top of each radar image. Full-color versions of these figures may be viewed on the Hess Physical Geography Laboratory Manual, 12th edition, website at www .MasteringGeography. com, then select Exercise 21, or by scanning the QR (Quick Response) code for this exercise.
What will be an ideal response?
No, Base velocity image shows wind movement from the south; storm relative motion image shows wind within the storm coming from the east.
