Which outcome occurs because solar forcing impacts the atmosphere?

💡 Explanation

Meridional temperature gradients drive atmospheric circulation. The Hadley cell weakens, and jet stream latitudinal position varies via thermal wind balance changes because greater temperature differences intensify upper-level winds; therefore increased high-latitude migration of jet streams occurs rather than the alternative effects, which are driven by oceanic and terrestrial processes.
