Which outcome occurs when katabatic winds intensify coastal upwelling?

A)Increased marine cloud condensation
B)Enhanced offshore heat transport
C)Reduced coastal sea surface salinity
D)Decreased deep ocean oxygen circulation

💡 Explanation

Increased upwelling brings deep, cold water to the surface, leading to a temperature gradient that encourages low-level cloud formation due to increased marine cloud condensation. This process, called advection fog, occurs because warm, moist air travels over the cooler upwelled water, therefore enhancing cloud formation rather than altering conditions.
