Which oceanic shift results when subtropical anticyclones intensify?

💡 Explanation

Intensified anticyclones create stronger, more persistent winds, resulting in enhanced Ekman transport. This causes greater divergence of surface waters, leading to intensified coastal upwelling because nearshore areas draw water from the deep ocean, rather than experiencing downwelling.
