You mean... the application of energy to water causes the water molecules to excite into a gaseous state... or evaporation? When they say "Air Temperature Above" how far above do they mean? Because Air is a great insulator, you can't feel the heat of a candle till your hand is a couple of centimetres above it.
Temperature at the surface of the water is much more interesting - along with "what is the spectrum of the source light and what is the reflected spectrum of the light?" That comparison of energy loss would be much more interesting than "Temperature", which more than likely tells you the temperature of the room and not the temperature of the surface of water where the light is at.
Reading the paper attached they do look at spectrums
