Which localized upwelling increase accompanies faster gyre rotation?

💡 Explanation

Increased gyre speed causes a stronger Ekman transport, thus inducing greater divergence of surface waters farther offshore; this causes localized upwelling because of mass conservation forcing deeper, cooler water upwards, rather than altered salinity or sediment deposition.
