Which atmospheric effect increases when trade wind strength diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Weakening trade winds reduce equatorial upwelling; therefore, the Walker circulation weakens, because pressure gradients lessen, which slows down atmospheric overturning; rather than strengthening Hadley cells which would be driven by stronger winds.
