Which outcome occurs when the breakdown of the ozone layer maximizes shortwave radiation infiltration to antarctic troposphere within upper tropospheric cells?

A)Intensified polar vortex destabilization
B)Increased Rossby wave amplification
C)Weakened thermohaline circulation onset
D)Enhanced Arctic sea ice formation

💡 Explanation

Intensified polar vortex destabilization occurs because increased radiation absorption drives expansion due to thermal expansion, and increased volume destabilizes the tropospheric cells, therefore weakening the jet stream rather than strengthening it, and promoting southward cold air outbreaks.
