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.
