«The Planck feedback parameter [equivalent to κ — 1] is negative (an increase in temperature enhances the long - wave emission to space and thus reduces R [the Earth's radiation budget]-RRB-, and its typical value for the earth's atmosphere, estimated from GCM calculations (Colman 2003; Soden and Held 2006), is ~ 3.2 W m2ºK — 1 (a value of ~ 3.8 W m2ºK — 1 is obtained by defining [κ — 1] simply as 4σT3, by equating the global mean outgoing long - wave radiation to σT4 and by assuming an emission temperature of 255 ºK).»
