Which outcome results when North Pacific gyre weakens?

💡 Explanation

Weakening causes less evaporation, decreasing surface salinity because reduced Coriolis effect prevents stable surface convergence through Ekman transport, therefore less saline subsurface waters upwell gradually influencing the salinity of the water boundary rather than affecting upwelling.
