El Nino Zoom to Cross-section of Temperature and Height Anomalies: January 1997 through March 1998.

Views of sea surface height (represented by the bumps) and sea temperature (represented by the color). Red is 10 degrees C above normal, blue is 10 degrees C below normal. Notice the large area of colder than normal water shutting off El Nino towards the end of the animation.    Views of sea surface height (represented by the bumps) and sea temperature (represented by the color).
