As carbon dioxide emissions have increased and the Earth's temperature as risen,
more evaporation takes place.
Not exact matches
Only about 40 % of the water reaches the crops, while
evaporation in the hot sun
takes more than two metres of water a year from the reservoirs - a total of around 300m cubic metres from Elephant Butte alone.
More importantly, as I've said several times now, in assessing the claim that the climate is hotter and drier you also have to
take account of
evaporation, which is now exacerbating droughts to the point that inflows to the Murray - Darling for 2006 are the lowest on record.

evaporation
Evaporation is probably a lot faster than sublimation, but sublimation
takes more energy per mass.
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.
The result of putting
more carbon into the atmosphere than can be
taken out of it is a warmer climate, a melting Arctic, higher sea levels, improvements in the photosynthetic efficiency of many plants, an intensification of the hydrologic cycle of
evaporation and precipitation, and new ocean chemistry.
sensitivity be assumed for DLR which hardly penetrates the oceans at all and has a greater proportion of it's energy
taken up in
evaporation (I believe but could be wrong), is radiated back to space and elseware
more quickly and therefore likely has a much smaller turnaround time in the ocean?
The skin layer does get warmer with
more DLR but at the same time the interacting layer above it gets cooler because of the deficit created by increased
evaporation taking place in that interacting layer.
Consequently, as air warms, for whatever reason,
more evaporation may
take place and the concentration of water vapor may increase.
Increased DLR - > warming of the knudsen (or
evaporation) layer - >
evaporation that
takes more energy than the DLR provides - > flux of energy upwards from skin layer and below - > cooling of the bulk ocean.
So if they must be kept seperate, as they must, is it not obvious that the DLR
takes care of itself, disappears completely in
more evaporation and radiation and providing for the evaporative energy deficit that it causes itself with no knock on effect on anything?
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.
Somehow you have determined that whatever increase in DLR
takes places actually causes
more heat to leave the ocean via
evaporation.
The initial melting does
take more energy from the air than is lost in
evaporation but that energy then becomes latent energy in the water and so the air is cooled but the remaining ice is not cooled.
However, volunteer temperature observers were also asked to
take precipitation measurements from rain gauges, and starting around 1960 the U.S. Weather Service requested that observers start
taking their measurements in the morning (between 7 and 9 AM), as that would minimize the amount of
evaporation from rain gauges and result in
more accurate precipitation measurements.
This «S» shape goes away at night not because
evaporation is less powerful, but rather because the input (solar) has gone away and the natural rising
takes on a
more logarithmic shape by depth where output is the only variable.
