Which airflow outcome dominates when a persistent high-pressure system obstructs atmospheric river streams?

💡 Explanation

Subsidence dominates when high pressure blocks atmospheric river streams, because large-scale anticyclonic Divergence causes descending air; this compresses and heats air, leading to warmer, drier conditions rather than other processes.
