Indeed
enhanced evaporation of water vapour into the atmosphere is conventionally regarded as an aggravating factor because water vapour is itself a greenhouse gas (see below about that).
Not exact matches
However, in many
of the same places, actual evapotranspiration inferred from surface
water balance exhibits an increase in association with
enhanced soil wetness from increased precipitation, as the actual evapotranspiration becomes closer to the potential
evaporation measured by the pans.
There is so little understanding about how the ocean parses its response to forcings by 1) suppressing (local convective scale) deep
water formation where excessive warming patterns are changed, 2)
enhancing (local convective scale) deep
water formation where the changed excessive warming patterns are co-located with increased
evaporation and increased salinity, and 3) shifting favored deep
water formation locations as a result
of a) shifted patterns
of enhanced warming, b) shifted patterns
of enhanced salinity and c) shifted patterns
of circulation which transport these
enhanced ocean features to critically altered destinations.
(right) With the transition from dimming to brightening (1980s — 2000s), the
enhanced greenhouse effect has no longer been masked, causing more rapid warming, stronger
evaporation / LH, and an intensification
of the
water cycle.
A few W / m2
of AGG -
enhanced DLR will warm the skin layer relative to the
water below by < 0.01 degK, certainly not enough to increase
evaporation and emission significantly.
