A theoretically expected consequence of the intensification of the hydrological
cycle under global warming is that on average, wet regions get wetter and dry regions get drier (WWDD).
Zhang, Dongxiao and Michael J. McPhaden: The ocean's role in an intensified hydrological
cycle under global warming: A case study for the Pacific.
Increasing water cycle extremes in California and relation to ENSO
cycle under global warming (Nature Communications)
«Increasing Water Cycle Extremes in California and Relation to ENSO
Cycle under Global Warming.»
Here we use a set of integrative approaches that combine metatranscriptomes, biochemical data, cellular physiology and emergent phytoplankton growth strategies in a global ecosystems model, to show that temperature significantly affects eukaryotic phytoplankton metabolism with consequences for biogeochemical
cycling under global warming.

These methods have been significantly improved by fully coupling the hydrologic
cycle among land, lake, and atmosphere.94, 95 Without accounting for that
cycle of interactions, a study96 concluded that increases in precipitation would be negated by increases in winter evaporation from less ice cover and by increases in summer evaporation and evapotranspiration from
warmer air temperatures,
under a scenario of continued increases in
global emissions (SRES A2 scenario).

But the role of climate change in causing the drought itself is unclear — the more immediate cause is an intermittent weather pattern called La Niña, and research is still
under way on whether that
cycle is being altered or intensified by
global warming, as some researchers suspect.
I think this is alluded to, albeit rather cryptically, in the Wentz et al. paper that Martin Lewitt cited above (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/317/5835/233.full), and helps to explain why people like Martin have put an interpretation on the paper that you don't find in the Wentz paper itself or in other papers that talk about how the hydrological
cycle changes
under global warming.
