Global latent heat of evaporation.Annual energy dissipated as the latent heat of evaporation (LE) at the surface.Note the highest values over areas with high sea-surface temperatures associated with warm ocean currents-the Gulf Stream off the east coast of North America and the Kuroshio off the east coast of Japan.[Adapted from M.I.Budyko,The Earth's Climate,Past and Future, 1982 Academic Press.]

A) near the poles.
B) over the subtropics.
C) in the tropics.
D) in the midlatitudes.
