Which process increases surface salinity where descending limbs of Hadley cells dominate?

💡 Explanation

Subsiding air from Hadley cells causes compression and warming, accelerating evaporation; therefore, surface salinity increases because evaporative losses outpace freshwater input from precipitation, rather than river runoff or upwelling-related processes that dilute surface waters.
