Climate change is expected to strengthen the hydrological cycle but this is yet to be conclusively shown. Satellite observations are used to investigate changes in terrestrial evaporation, indicating increases at northern latitudes that are in line with expectations. However, global multidecadal variability is dominated by El Niño/Southern Oscillation cycles.
