Which climatic effect results when persistent stationary upper-level systems disrupt Hadley cell circulation?

💡 Explanation

Increased droughts occur because disrupted Hadley cell circulation weakens ascending air motion typically leading to precipitation. This reduces moisture transport in affected regions, leading to prolonged dry spells, therefore droughts increase rather than decreased cyclone frequencies or upwelling events.
