The clearest impact of warming on drought is when higher temperatures cause more evaporation and increase water demand, as has happened with this drought.

Another process knows as a «runaway greenhouse» occurs due to the increased greenhouse effect of water vapor in the lower atmosphere, which further drives evaporation and more warming.

Not sure and often, heat drying is more like desiccation — just hot enough to help the natural evaporation of water — like making REAL beef jerky, which should be dried at 104F max.

However, with me at least, a bit part of the deal is the increased acidity reducing fish harvests, water shortages, droughts severely reducing crops (sure — more rain, but more over the ocean, less on land — and with greater evaporation before the water trickles to a dry stream bed), increased heat reducing rice production and other heat sensative crops, the heat waves, etc..

(I think that an anomalously warm ocean surface heated from below would lead to more evaporation, and the additional water vapor would give a positive greenhouse effect that would partially offset the effect of a drop in greenhouse gas concentrations.)

The increased area of warm water on the surface allows the tropical Pacific Ocean to discharge more heat than normal into the atmosphere through evaporation.

And once wide swaths of tree are cut, large land areas lose their shade cover, resulting in more evaporation from the soil, further reducing water flows.

Water levels are influenced by the amount of evaporation from decreased ice cover and warmer air temperatures, by evapotranspiration from warmer air temperatures, and by potential increases in inflow from more precipitation.

But now the risk of fire is exacerbated by climate change, which heats air (stoking stronger winds) and water (leading to more evaporation and hence stronger precipitation events).

I guess we need a laboratory test to see how water react to various levels of IR, more evaporation, or an increae of temperature.

With the Earth known as the «water planet» because of over 70 % of the globe covered by deep oceans, warmer temps directly result in more evaporation of the ocean water into the air - clouds.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

Slopes by angle can expose more or less volume of water to evaporation or flooding depending on degree of the slope to the height of water being displaced.

Open water emits more infra - red energy to space and evaporation of surface water in the windy Arctic region will remove substantial amounts of heat from the surface.

The lack of» water vapor» is, because: it was more water in Arctic ocean without ice cover as» insulation» - > water absorbed extra coldness and the currents brought extra coldness in North Atlantic = above the ocean is colder = less evaporation - > less water vapor produced - > less moisture going west from central Atlantic.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

Heat = more evaporation, which = more rain, which would, or should allay the fears of the alarmists, yet, inexplicably, they are still afraid of water going away.

And even though on average more warmth will mean more evaporation, and therefore more water vapour in the atmosphere and more precipitation in some of those zones that already have ample rainfall, the pattern could be different in the arid lands.

Note 1: A simple hotspot explanation summarized from this article: Increasing CO2 levels causes atmosphere to warm; then atmosphere causes Earth's surface to warm; warming of oceans cause evaporation; increased evaporation leads to more water vapor in the upper troposphere; water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere even more (positive water vapor feedback); the Earth's surface warms even more; and then auto «repeat and rinse» until Earth's oceans boil, per an «expert.»

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.

(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.

These effects are relatively well understood in the lowest level of the atmosphere, the troposphere, where increased warming leads to greater evaporation, causing more water vapour and so further warming, although this is offset to some extent through the formation of clouds that reflect incoming sunlight back into space.

As the planet warms, increasing levels of water vapour in the atmosphere caused by higher evaporation levels form more clouds and snow increasing the albedo of the planet, reflecting heat back into space more efficiently, thus working to regulate the temperature downward.

Remember that fresh water freezes more easily than the ocean's usual salt water, so if downwelling fails locally, a puddle of fresher water may form from the rains or floods — and it will freeze more easily, preventing the winds from doing their evaporation job that might restart the downwelling.

But, if the atmosphere in the polar regions warms there will be more evaporation and thus a postive feedback from greenhouse effect of increased water vapor.

There is growing evidence that this has already occurred31 through more evaporation from the ocean, which increases water vapor in the lower atmosphere32 and autumn cloud cover west and north of Alaska.33

Climate models have long predicted that as global temperatures warm, evaporation of surface water will increase and more moisture will be held in the atmosphere.

As water warms more evaporation occurs carrying energy higher in the troposphere where it can be lost more easily — but there are considerations of wind speed and atmospheric humidity.

«With global temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our temperatures are warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on water, increases the stress on the water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high - temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.

Because of excessive evaporation, tropical surface water is more saline.

i) That parcel of air can be caused to expand relative to adjoining air parcels either by direct input of more solar energy where insolation is uneven (as it always is) or indirectly by the injection of potential energy in the form of latent heat of evaporation carried by water vapour.

Hotter waters lead to more evaporation, which must eventually come down in the form of precipitation.

Consequently, as air warms, for whatever reason, more evaporation may take place and the concentration of water vapor may increase.

More DLR increases Evaporation and that increases the amount of latent heat required and also increases upward Convection because water vapour is lighter than air.

Evaporation of water takes out of the local environment (but it stays in the system in latent form) 4 times more energy than the sensible energy required to heat the same amount of water to 100C.

* When it's warmer, the evaporation of water speeds up, allowing the ground to heat up faster, which then evaporates more water in a vicious cycle which continues until meaningful rain stops it.
