    Equatorial Undercurrent Intensification
    Paradoxically, while surface currents weaken, the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC), a deep, subsurface flow of warm water, often exhibits a transient surge in speed during the mature phase of a strong El Niño. This is theorized to be due to the conservation of momentum across the basin as surface wind stress diminishes, forcing momentum transfer into the slower-moving depths [6].
