Short summary
Under anthropogenic climate change, the hydrological cycle is expected to intensify. However, it is difficult to directly measure the amplification that has occurred over the past decades. Generally, ocean salinity patterns are used to infer this change in the hydrological cycle. Here, we present a new method to do this inference based on linear response theory. We find that over the period 1975–2019, the hydrological cycle has amplified by 5.04 % ± 1.27 % per degree Celsius of surface warming.
