Which atmospheric effect results when high-altitude winds deflect?

💡 Explanation

Airflow from the Hadley to Ferrel cells aloft creates Rossby waves because latitudinal wind deflection by the Coriolis effect generates undulations; therefore the atmosphere exhibits wave disturbances aloft rather than direct surface interactions.
