17. The horizontal redistribution of warm surface waters during El Niño alters the topography of the thermocline - it deepens in some regions and shoals in others - while leaving unchanged the spatially averaged depth of and the temperature difference across the thermocline. That is why two-layer models of the ocean are effective tools for studying El Niño.
