It has been understood since the 19th century that some gases absorb infrared radiation (IR) that is emitted by the planet, slowing the rate at which the planet can cool and warming the surface.

That is, the oceans do not directly affect the radiation budget of the planet, but rather, affect the time constant by which the planet «experiences» changes in radiation.

The power law model population is dependent on four key parameters: How fast the number of planets changes with planet mass, how fast the number of planets changes with orbital distance, the outer-most orbital distance at which a planet can be detected, and the combination of mass and orbital distance that produces the most planets (the «pivot point»).
