Which outcome occurs when enhanced latent heat transfer increases atmospheric instability?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric instability leads to strong convective uplift and equatorial wind changes triggering an intensified 'El Niño Southern Oscillation,' because the Walker circulation gets disrupted; therefore, the ENSO cycle amplifies rather than other effects that impact ocean currents.
