At that thermal equilibrium the surface temperature can be calculated using the S - B Law for any planet at a given level of solar input.

In addition to global mean equilibrium surface temperature changes, local surface temperature changes have been identified by Gillett and Thompson (2003) as a result of ozone loss from the lower stratosphere.

Using a notebook computer, he drew the equilibrium surface of a floating paraboloid — a graph showing the angle at which it would tilt, depending on its density (compared with the liquid around it) and its aspect ratio (height divided by base).

In this case I can see no reason to suspect that the vacuum «bubbles» will effect the equilibrium surface temperature at all.

One implication of this interpretation is that the world today is on the verge of a level of global warming for which the equilibrium surface air temperature response on the ice sheets will exceed the global mean temperature increase by much more than a factor of two.

An atmosphere can be in stable radiative equilibrium for any LW optical depth, but the equilibrium surface temperature will monotonically depend on the value of the optical depth....»
