Abstract: We analysed recent evolution and meteorological drivers of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in the Canary Islands for the period 1961-2013. We employed long and high quality time series of meteorological variables to analyze current AED changes in this region and found that AED has increased during the investigated period. Overall, the annual ETo increased significantly by 18.2 mm decade-1 on average, with a stronger trend in summer (6.7 mm decade-1). The radiative component showed much lower temporal variability than the aerodynamic component did. Thus, more than 90% of the observed ETo variability at the seasonal and annual scales can be associated with the variability of the aerodynamic component. The variable that recorded more significant changes in the Canary Islands was relative humidity, and among the different meteorological factors used to calculate ETo, relative humidity was the main driver of the observed ETo trends. The observed trend could have negative consequences in a number of water-depending sectors if it continues in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
