The «equilibrium»
sensitivity of the
global surface temperature to solar irradiance variations, which is calculated simply by dividing the absolute temperature on the earth's surface (288K) by the solar constant (1365Wm - 2), is based on the assumption that the climate response is linear in the whole temperature band starting at the zero point.
The climate
sensitivity classically defined is the response
of global mean temperature to a forcing once all the «fast feedbacks» have occurred (atmospheric temperatures, clouds, water vapour, winds, snow, sea ice etc.), but before any
of the «slow» feedbacks have kicked in (ice sheets, vegetation, carbon cycle etc.).
The variation in
global climate
sensitivity among GCMs is largely attributable to differences in cloud feedbacks, and feedbacks
of low - level clouds in particular.
