Intense trade winds and strong uppwelling along a region near the equator, known as the cold tongue and caused by Ekman pumping, bringing up cold and nutrient water from the deep sea.
In the tropical Pacific, the distance from Indonesia to South America and the way tropical winds push warm water west combine to allow special waves to travel along the equator and are amplified by the atmospheric wind response to produce large fluctuations in temperatures (up to 3 degrees Celsius) in the Eastern Pacific that last for months.
The image shows the inner streamer belt along the Sun's equator, where the low latitude solar wind originates and is accelerated.

When the wind - driven ocean circulation is intense, such as during the negative phase of the IPO & La Nina, there is strong upwelling of cold deep water along the equator, and along the eastern coasts of the continents.
By doing so you might learn along the way the real valid physics of heat transfer in fluid dynamics which is how we get out great wind and weather systems from the equator to the poles, because you would then understand that the atmosphere around us is a heavy voluminous fluid and the dynamics of heat transfer in this is by convection which is what wind is, created out of differential heating of volumes of this fluid.
As the winds blow west along the Equator, they push warm water ahead of them, piling it up in a warm pool in the western Pacific.
In the tropical Pacific, the distance from Indonesia to South America and the way tropical winds push warm water west combine to allow special waves to travel along the equator and are amplified by the atmospheric wind response to produce large fluctuations in temperatures (up to 3 degrees Celsius) in the Eastern Pacific that last for months.
These westerly wind bursts sometimes generate long waves called Kelvin waves, which travel east along the equator at about 2.5 meters per second.
