Which feedback results from depleted upwelling during El Niño?

A)Increased atmospheric temperatures persist longer
B)Increased nutrient availability near coasts
C)Decreased thermocline depth temporarily increases
D)Changes in trade winds stall abruptly

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric temperatures persist because the diminished upwelling reduces the transfer of cold, nutrient-rich water, initiating a positive feedback via reduced cooling (Bjerknes feedback). Therefore, temperature increases persist rather than being regulated quickly by ocean cooling alone.
