General Navigation USCG Question #1351 (Set 43)

Which weather system produces strong cold winds called "Northers" during the winter months in the Gulf of Mexico?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Both A and B

Winter "Northers" in the Gulf of Mexico are driven by cold, dense anticyclones (high pressure systems) sweeping southward. These high pressure systems act as massive cold fronts, creating strong gale-force northerly winds.
