Which outcome occurs when insolation variance reduces subtropical Hadley cell strength?

💡 Explanation

A weakened Hadley cell reduces the poleward temperature gradient and thus jet stream strength aloft, because the thermal wind balance mechanism connects temperature gradients aloft with their airflow. The jet wanes as the surface heating differential declines, rather than strengthens, therefore influencing other latitudinal cells less noticeably under these circumstances.
