Which thermocline effect occurs as wind forcing decreases within ocean gyres?

💡 Explanation

Weaker wind forcing reduces Ekman transport, a key process in gyres that brings colder water to the surface. Therefore, temperatures become more uniform because less cold water upwells to replace the warmer surface water; rather than a change within latent heat flux.
