As the water warms, the rate
of evaporation increases.
Warmer water surfaces from extra downwelling infra red can not cause warming of the ocean bulk because the rate
of evaporation increases proportionately to the extra energy available and the latent heat of evaporation is then taken mostly from the water.It is then no longer available to warm the ocean bulk.
They should find that the temperature gradient between the two points actually increases if the rate
of evaporation increases.
In his House of Commons presentation, toward the end, he gives a sketch of an alternative derivation of the «Climate Sensitivity» based on observed rates

This rather trivial correlation is to be expected in light
of evaporation increasing exponentially with temperature, leading eventually to greater cloudiness.

If convection and

of cooling the two exhibit
increases as surface temps
increase.
While an
increase in the amount
of radiation the Earth receives by trapping outgoing IR would
increase surface temps, would the

Those high temperatures have helped allow drought to flourish in the Northeast and Southeast, as they
increase the amount
of evaporation from soils and transpiration from trees.
Another is that an
increase in Arctic cloud cover — a plausible outcome

evaporation from the oceans — could deprive algae
of the sunlight they need to thrive.
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.
Consequently, if there is more rainfall [due to greater
evaporation] where there is already a lot
of rainfall, then the effect that rainfall has on the circulation will be
increased.
Another process knows as a «runaway greenhouse» occurs due to the
increased greenhouse effect

The layer will also gradually
increase its humidity by
evaporation of the ocean or lake surface, as well as by the effect
of cooling itself.
Lake Turkana is a closed basin lake, and with climate change, you already have
increased evaporation, which leads to alteration
of the chemical composition
of the lake — and alters the ecosystem, and the fish and all the animals living in it.
One other factor here is
increased evaporation at the equator which has
increased the salanity
of tropical waters along with
increased percipitation at the poles seems to be making the thermohaline system move faster which in turn carries move heat to the poles and hence
increases polar ice melting and hence possibly a greater chance
of slowdown
of the thermohaline system.

Hatun et al. examined the possibilities that [i] a change in rain falling over the ocean (freshens the water) and
evaporation (
increases the salinity by removing water and leaving salt behind), [ii]
increased salinity in the sub-tropical gyre (in the main part
of the North Atlantic), [iii]
increased salinity in the sub-polar gyre, or [iv] dynamical changes in the relative contributions from the two gyres could explain the high salinities in the in - flow regions.
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.
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 haven't read the papers and don't know what is happening with salinity in the rest
of the Atlantic, but looking at your map it occurred to me that if there was
increased freshwater in the Northern Ocean due to ice melting and
increase salinity in the tropical Atlantic due to
increased evaporation, couldn't a mixing effect at the southern edge
of the Northern ocean as tropical water is circulated north show similar results?
This forest, too, is not adapted to fire, and when
increased heat causes rapid
evaporation - even with similar precipitation - our greatest biological treasure and one

Now
of course
increased evaporation also means
increased precipitation, but this tends to fall prematurely over the source
of the
evaporation — the oceans.
Then again, with a big expanse
of exposed arctic ocean, you would expect
evaporation to
increase, so rainfall might be expected to
increase north
of the confluence
of the Polar and Ferrel cells.
The idea
of an
evaporation thermostat was proposed in the 1970's by Newell, and was based on erroneous reasoning confusing correlation with causation; when one does the physics, one finds that
evaporation increases the air - sea coupling, but can't prevent a warming if the atmosphere itself warms.
Furthermore, even though
evaporation is
increasing, it's not
increasing as quickly as the water holding capacity
of the atmosphere.
BTW, as noted above, I should have paid more attention to the role
of increased evaporation in
increasing the severity
of drought, and reducing streamflow, the relevant variable for my analysis.
Still more
evaporation from the soil and an
increased risk
