Which weather pattern emerges when the Coriolis effect deflects high-altitude katabatic winds?

💡 Explanation

Polar vortex intensification occurs because katabatic winds are deflected eastward by the Coriolis effect in the Northern Hemisphere forming a strong, circulating wind pattern; therefore, causing vortex intensification, rather than phenomena related to geostrophic wind effects at lower altitudes.
