Which feedback loop intensifies coastal upwelling when strong offshore winds blow parallel to the shoreline?

💡 Explanation

When offshore winds blow, the Coriolis force causes surface water to deflect away from the coast, leading to upwelling; this upwelling then reinforces the pressure gradient intensifying those same winds via the Bernoulli principle. Therefore, Coriolis force deflection augmentation results, rather than gradients, compressions, or albedo shifts which function independently of upwelling.
