Which outcome is amplified downwind when coastal upwelling occurs?

💡 Explanation

A stronger thermocline gradient intensifies offshore because Ekman transport displaces surface waters, which enhances subsurface upwelling; therefore, offshore gradients increase, rather than conditions near shores which exhibit varied and minimal changes due to surface mixing.
