Not exact matches

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

I don't have any references, but since IR only penetrates the nano - skin of ocean water and absorption and reemission is a VERY rapid process, then as I understand it, there is very little heating of the water, and hence not much in the way of increased evaporation.

(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.

This rapid change might affect the availability of water resources by altering the rates of evaporation and precipitation.
