Thus, for a well - coupled convecting troposphere, one defines the climate sensitivity (in the absence of feedback) as 1 / [d (SB) / dT] = 1 / (4 * sigma * T ^ 3), where T in this case is actually the emission temperature of the planet where infrared radiation leaks out to space (analogous to the photosphere of the sun, where eventually the outer layers of the sun become optically thin to visible radiation, and allow that energy to escape to space), not the surface temperature.
