This is also what I was going to suggest for Patrick.  Would it be hard to add
emissivity and albedo as time-mean, spatially invariant control parameters?  But
that would not necessarily solve your problem Martin, unless you used same model
configuration, optimized surface boundary conditions, and integration period.

Martin, if you have one baseline integration and one or more sensitivity 
experiments and if you assume that model response is linear, it's really not 
very hard to do this calibration: http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2005/green.pdf
