Which atmospheric change occurs when increased polar ice melt disrupts the Hadley Cell?

💡 Explanation

The Hadley Cell weakens with a decreased temperature gradient following polar ice melt, therefore altering temperature distribution between the equator and poles causing increased storm intensity. This is due to the increased instability rather than a jet-stream shift.
