← GeographyWhich process drives increased marine cloud formation over stronger ocean temperature streams?
A)Enhanced surface sensible heat flux✓
B)Decreased convective cloud coalescence rates
C)Lower turbulent kinetic energy dissipation
D)Reduced longwave radiative cooling aloft
💡 Explanation
Enhanced surface sensible heat flux occurs because strong temperature gradients prompt buoyant plumes of warm, moist air to detach, promoting cloud droplet activation. The increased heat flux leads to increased evaporation; therefore cloud formation increases, rather than changes in cloud dynamics.
