← GeographyWhich outcome increases due to the Rossby Wave effect?
A)Severe mid-latitude weather pattern instability✓
B)High salinity levels near river deltas
C)Localized increase in polar ice growth
D)Deceiving coastal sea surface temperatures
💡 Explanation
Cyclogenesis increases with Rossby waves' amplitude because differential vorticity advection amplifies upper-level divergence, therefore leading to surface pressure drops and storm intensification above instability, rather than salinity or ice.
