Buys Ballot Law and avoiding the center of a low.wmv

1. totally wrong explanation

2. It’s wrong
   Right is in N hemisphere , observer stand with his back to wind low pressure is his left and high pressure is his right and north hemisphere its wind blows anti-clockwise

3. i think he has this backwards since in the northern hemisphere cyclones typically have a west/northwesterly track. The veering should be to the left of the track and backing should be on the right as it is coming at you, making the south side of the example the navigable side and your center of the low should be somewhere between 100-135 degrees relative to the direction the wind is coming from.

4. pls delete this vedio … your explanation is totally wrong bro

5. Sorry Wrong definition : In the Northern Hemisphere, if a person stands with his back to the wind, the atmospheric pressure is low to the left, high to the right. This is because wind travels counterclockwise around low pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere.

6. Really appreciate these videos. Thank you for taking the time to load these up, they’re helping a lot.

7. i like your memorization techinics. Do you have a website with this material ?

8. what an amazing teacher

9. Doesn't the TRS move east to west?

10. hello sir, is it not this way.
    they usually travel Westerly then North Westerly in the northern hemisphere and South Westerly in the southern hemisphere.

11. how about in southern?? where is the low pressure and the high pressure??

12. Hi
    1.arrow showing outward…should be inward.
    2. You are showings a anti clock wise direction. That means northern hemisphere right so navigable semi circle should be left or down. But you are showing top ?

13. *voyage east to west for example.

14. Very good method of remembering. Thanks. Although, 'dangerous' depends very much on your vessel's stability. For example, an offshore/platform supply vessel (or other fine lined hullform) may become unstable (parametric rolling/free to trim KN problem) due to partial loss of buoyancy with a following sea. Hence, backing weather, heading cross atlantic, should be avoided. Better to be head on to weather in some cases.

15. you pronounce Buys Ballot totally wrong. 

16. you are very good  teacher, i love your lessons

17. Your hoody rules. Lol.

18. good video, helped me as a cadet with ground school.

19. yes it is right and thanks. hope you have some lectures about seamanship stability and trim. you really did a good lecture and well explained. 

20. You are right about this the air moves inward and I drew it as going outward.

21. the cycle is also not outward, it must be inward

22. Thank you very much your comments are appreciated.

23. EVEN I WAS THINKING THE SAME…I HAVE BEEN SEEING ALL HIS VIDEOS AWESOME

24. Very helpful! Thank you!

25. Tropical revolving storms usually:
    A. do not form within 5 degrees of the Equator.
    B. move in a westerly direction before re-curving towards the Equator.
    C. form close to one side of the Equator and, while moving slowly in a westerly direction, cross over to the other hemisphere.
    D. move in an easterly direction before re-curving towards the nearest pole.

26. The TRS moves Westerly not Easterly
