Which mechanism impacts discharge rates in river-streams during orographic lift?

💡 Explanation

Increased orographic lifting encourages condensation, which causes copious precipitation downstream because latent heat energy release warms the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, latent heat is significant, rather than albedo changes linked primarily to ice coverage affecting reflectivity of surface.
