I am trying to see because of the current drought crisis Australia has endured that evaporation slow down has occured. There isn't enough data, and the data there is doesn't help prove anything.

Another possible problem is to define it through all of these.

One thing that was said to me from a 39 yr experienced meteorologist is the sub tropic areas of the planet are usually deserts. which goes right across the guts of Australia and around other places such as the red sea.
