A four-box model of the tropical climate is used to assess its sensitivity to changes in the relative area of the moist and dry regions and to radiative perturbations. The feedbacks modulating this sensitivity are analyzed, particularly the dynamical feedbacks associated with the surface fluxes. The link between the large-scale circulation and these fluxes is found to play a crucial role in the tropics' sensitivity to radiative perturbations.
