description	Variations of the oceanic evaporation are examined using Goddard Satellite Surface Turbulence Flux version 2 (GSSTF2) data. An Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis shows that the first non-seasonal EOF, which explains 9.2% of the variance, is characterized by large changes in the subtropical oceanic dry regions, accompanied by small negative changes in the equatorial warm pool and the eastern equatorial Pacific. The time series shows an increasing trend with decadal time scale that started around 1990. This pattern is interpreted as an enhancement of the Hadley and Walker circulation. The second EOF, explaining 5.7% of the variance, is characterized by an equatorial east-west and a mid ocean north-south dipole in the Pacific. The second pattern is similar to the First EOF pattern of non-seasonal oceanic precipitation found in earlier studies, and is related to the El Nino Southern Oscillation phenomena. It is correlated with a Southern Oscillation Index at 0.74, which is significant at the 95% level.
