abstract="Analyses of satellite data mainly over the world{\textquoteright}s ocean surfaces have shown that during 1986--2006 global average values of atmospheric water vapor, precipitation and evaporation have increased at a relative rate of 0.0013a-1; this is roughly in accordance with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation for the average temperature trend during this period, and amounts to 0.065K-1 at the average temperature of T=14oC. Application of this concept over the world{\textquoteright}s land surfaces yields an average global evaporation trend during the past half century of around 0.4 to 0.5 mma-2; this confirms the values obtained in previous studies with totally different methods.",
