EER i assume is energy efficiency rating, but what is COP?

My burning question is the difference between using evaporative cooling to aid a heat pump type compressor and just using ambient air. if it makes a big enough difference I'd be all over it. Theoretically evaporative cooling will drop the temp by 10-12 degrees F regardless of humidity.
