The long answer is: provided that the ambient's air is well above the freezing point of water, that the cabin's air filter is clean and that the system is set to cool ambient air and not recirculated one, the evaporator's thermal load is proportional to fan speed, and, therefore, air volume.
Of course, the absolute temperature does matter in many situations (the freezing point of ice, emitted radiation, convection, health and ecosystem impacts, etc.) and so it's worth calculating as well — even at the global scale.
The freezing point of salt water varies strongly with the salinity which changes as the ice underneath melts and freshens the sea.

I am sure you will find a more natural solution of this flow of water from glaciers — estimated not less than 3000 feet thick — in the suggestion first made by Professor James Thomson, and subsequently proved by his brother, Professor W. Thomson, that the freezing point of water is lowered by the effect of pressure 0.23 ° Fahr., or about a quarter of a degree for each additional atmosphere of pressure.
But in principle it could be anything convenient, say absolute zero (as in the Kelvin example) or the freezing point of water (which, however varies inconveniently with salt content) or for that matter your birthday, suitably formatted — 39.85, say, if you were born March 9 and are now 26.
So if, say, Resolute, one of the northernmost land stations, is 50 ⁰ F, and the Arctic is mixed water - ice (it always is), that 50 degrees will be extended out 1200 kilometers where the air - sea boundary temperature has to be around 30 ⁰ F, the freezing point of seawater up there.
