Which mechanism strengthens gyre formation when Hadley cells intensify?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced Hadley cells amplify the trade winds, therefore increasing surface currents by Ekman transport because converging surface flow forms rotating gyres rather than a uniform oceanic movement. The Ekman spiral directly connects atmospheric wind forcing to ocean currents.
