Which outcome results when upper-level divergence aloft exceeds surface convergence in a monsoonal cell?

💡 Explanation

Increased upper-level divergence causes enhanced uplift and storm formation via atmospheric instability; therefore a rapid decrease in surface pressure results, increasing the monsoonal flow, rather than high pressure, because more air is exiting aloft.
