El Niño Zoom to Cross-section of Sea Temperature and Height: January 1997 through March 1998

Views of sea surface height (represented by the bumps) and sea temperature (represented by the color). Red is 30 degrees C, blue is 8 degrees C. The thermocline is the border between the dark blue at the bottom and the cyan. The thermocline exists at 20 degress C.
