Consider the following statements: 1) Jet streams occur in the Northern Hemisphere only. 2) Only some cyclones develop an eye. 3) The temperature inside the eye of a cyclone is nearly 10ºC lesser than that of the surroundings. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 2 only. • Jet streams occur in both hemispheres, but the jet streams in the northern hemisphere are more forceful due to greater temperature gradients. Hence statement 1 is NOT correct. • A typical tropical cyclone will have an eye of approximately 30–65 km (20–40 mi) across, usually situated at the geometric. Few cyclones do not form eye. Hence statement 2 is correct. • The temperature in the eye is 10°C warmer or more at an altitude of 12 km than the surrounding environment, but only 0-2°C w center of the storm. Hence statement 3 is NOT correct. Hence the answer is C. .
