Sensitivities of Radiative-Convective Climate Models

We have compared sensitivities of four different radiative-convective climate models. Although surface temperature sensitivities with respect to changes in solar constant and atmospheric CO2, concentration are almost the same in all models, sensitivity with respect to some other climate variables varies up to a factor of 2. We have found that the surface, temperature sensitivity with respect to changes of the lapse rate is high in all models, and we emphasize the importance of a lapse rate-surface temperature feedback.
