The rate of evaporation occurring at the ocean surface is governed by three primary environmental drivers: sea surface temperature, surface winds, and air temperature.

Factors Influencing Oceanic Evaporation Rate

Which environmental driver governing oceanic evaporation rate relates to the movement of air across the ocean surface?

Name the two environmental drivers governing oceanic evaporation rate that are based on temperature.

In tropical marine regions, elevated sea surface temperatures drive and sustain particularly high rates of ocean surface evaporation.
