To describe:
The ways by which shifts in subtropical highs and subpolar lows affect the specific climatic patterns of midlatitudes.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In subtropical areas, the rate of evaporation is high; due to which the amount of salinity increases. It is because evaporation leads to loss of water leaving the dissolved salts behind, further increases the salinity of the water body.
The subpolar low pressure possesses cyclones that are very low across north Atlantic and north Pacific. It results in a moist and cooler environment. The cool masses of air from the North and warm masses of air from the south collide and create front at the polar. In the cells of subtropical high pressure, occurrence of anticyclones takes place at the regions where air is forcefully pushed.
