Warmer temperatures can directly
increase evaporation rates, and also affect the water vapour transport within soils themselves, further adding to the evaporative demand.
The theory is that increasing CO2 will cause a small bit of warming and this will
increase evaporation rates (which occur fastest in the tropics) and dumps more water vapour in the atmosphere (water vapour is by far a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) and this feedback amplification is meant to continue until Earth settles down and finds a new equilibrium temperature.
Regardless of whether it caused a particular drought, AGW makes droughts worse because higher temperatures
increase evaporation rates.
Warmer air
increases the evaporation rate of water, and for every degree Celsius increase in temperature, a parcel of air can hold 7 percent more water.
Adding more strings
increases the evaporation rate — but only up to a point.
Consistent with how I was reading things, pleasantly — barring some cautious hedging I'd made, based on the possibility that salinity could reflect mass changes, either when fresh water was added to the ocean via glacial melt or impoundment decreases (ocean mass increase) or via
increased evaporation rates (ocean mass decrease).
Scientists have found that global warming is melting Bolivia's glaciers and has
increased evaporation rates by as much as 200 percent near its key lakes.
Such drying is a feature of human - caused climate change in that human - forced warming due to fossil fuel burning
increases evaporation rates and related stress to forests even as it drives fundamental alterations to precipitation patterns that can substantially worsen drought and wildfire intensity.
So if one increases the rate of downwelling IR (thereby
increasing the evaporation rate) then the increase in upward energy flow caused by the fall in the temperature of that 1 mm layer will be greater than the decrease in upward energy flow that will result from any reduced temperature differential between the topmost Knudsen layer and the ocean bulk arising from the application of Fourier's Law.
v) More CO2 ought theoretically induce faster cooling of the oceans by
increasing evaporation rates.
Instead of warming the water down to a significant depth it rather serves to
increase the evaporation rate and the heat is carried off the surface as latent heat of vaporization.
This is caused by the increased moisture capacity of the atmosphere with increased temperature, as well as warmer oceans, seas, and rivers, which leads to
increased evaporation rates.

Simultaneously, as the average liquid droplet becomes smaller through
evaporation, the vapor's density
increases, so more vapor molecules merge at a faster

If surface temperatures spike, and the ground is wet,
evaporation rates increase, reducing the temperature by latent heat transfer.
As both
evaporation rates and heavy rainfall events
increase in a warming world, this lends itself to bigger variations in precipitation.
An
increase in surface temp will
increase water vapor pressure at the surface: that will likely
increase the
rate of
evaporation at the surface, which may or may not
increase cloud cover.
The
rate of
evaporation from the ocean seems to be
increasing as the world warms.
But going into spring and summer, soil should dry out more quickly (and it has been) given a decreased warm month precipitation and
increased rate of
evaporation.
I had stated that globally the
rate of
evaporation and precipitation
increase at the same
rate as the humidity of saturation, that is, by 8 % per 1 °C based on a roughly constant residence time, but this is false:
For example, as the lower atmosphere becomes warmer,
evaporation rates will
increase, resulting in an
increase in the amount of moisture circulating throughout the troposphere (lower atmosphere).
Part way there, but no quantitation yet: of the 3.77 W / m ^ 2 radiated back dowwnard, most goes to
increased rate of
evaporation of the water at the surface, and much less goes to
increased mean temp
increase at the surface; hence
increased rate of non-radiative transfer of heat from surface to upper atmosphere, slight
increase in rainfall as hydrological cycle is faster, and slight
increase in cloud cover.
In a warming world we expect the
rate of
evaporation to
increase.
Increase the temperature and you increase the rate of evap
Increase the temperature and you
increase the rate of evap

The steady
increase in global temperatures, including average temperatures in Australia, means that even when rainfall is at or near the historical average, conditions are drier than before because
evaporation rates are higher.
Both effects imply a higher

However, they may reduce productivity in warmer areas through

However there would then be more conduction, convection and on Earth more

Another paper criticized Wentz's analysis because he did not consider other factors which play a role in precipitation such as global brightening during the period of study; and the error bars in Wentz's estimate of the

The main message of the figure below is that the precipitation and

rate than Clausius — Clapeyron would predict, about 2 - 4 % per degree K.
As the temperature
increases, the water vapor pressure (hence by inference the water

Since latent heat transport (and surface cooling of the ocean) must
increase in proportion to the

increases by about 4 watts per square meter more than the models predict for each degree rise in surface temperature.
The
rate of
evaporation also
increases with temperature, also a cooling effect.
