Which outcome occurs when the Coriolis effect interacts with subtropical high-pressure systems?

💡 Explanation

When the Coriolis effect deflects air moving from subtropical high-pressure zones back towards the equator or towards higher latitudes, a pressure gradient force is balanced and results in generation of strong zonal geostrophic winds forming. Therefore strong zonal winds will form, rather than increased jet stream meandering/Cyclone suppression, or coastal upwelling, which depend on topography or current systems.
