Which process explains enhanced evaporative cooling around streams globally?

💡 Explanation

Increased water availability in streams means more evaporation, thus leading to enhanced latent heat flux from that surface; this is a consequence of available evaporating surface, because surface-air vapour pressure reduces evaporation rather than temperature differences determining sensible heat flux.
