Which outcome happens when thermal gradients near ocean streams produce high pressure cells?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced coastal upwelling occurs because anticyclonic wind forcing causes Ekman transport, which draws deep, cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface. Therefore, upwelling increases rather than river discharge decreasing, because deep-water currents power the system.
