Which outcome is enhanced when prevailing winds exhibit greater variation?

💡 Explanation

Coastal upwelling intensity increases, because Ekman transport moves surface water offshore via the Coriolis effect, therefore strong varying winds increase transport, rather than stabilizing cells or homogenizing water.
