Which result occurs when trade wind reduction disrupts thermocline?

💡 Explanation

Reduced trade winds weaken coastal upwelling during El Niño; this weakens Ekman transport because surface waters are moving less offshore, therefore, the nutrient upwelling is constrained, rather than other large-scale effects like the air temperature or ice.
