Setting aside the effects of the deep ocean, etc, — ie just using a single unified reservoir's heat
capacity — and using only fast feedbacks (I didn't introduce any
slow feedbacks anywhere in this particular series of comments), the expectation based on physics is that each delayed
response T curve (each of which must correspond to a different value of heat
capacity, for the same ECS) must have a maximum or minimum when it intersects the instantaneous
response curve (my Teq value)-- maximum if it was below Teq before, minimum if it was above — because it is always going toward Teq.
The reasons include a lack of relevant city policies and action plans; existence of regulations on urban planning and environment which have not been adjusted to manage climate change;
slow response to climate disasters due to lack of
capacity and resources; and lack of public awareness on climate variability and climate change - induced hazard mitigation.
A thin sheet of metal quickly absorbs the solar energy, and having good conductivity, quickly converting it into an increase in heat whereas the thermal lag of water by contrast is great and whilst energy is being absorbed due to its large heat
capacity the
response is
slow.
