I meant that the attribution of the forcing between Ice
albedo, CO2, etc. might be
dependent on the temperature.
Suppose the planet in consideration has a surface of high
albedo surrounded (or
on top of) a surface of lower
albedo, and the extent of such a surface is temperature -
dependent.
In principal — transition to open cell — low
albedo — cloud is
dependent on the amount of precipitation and therefore
on the concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).
The all - sky incoming SW available energy is heavily
dependent on the average cloud cover (
albedo), and is an input parameter of the system, not influencing the IR absorptive property.
