Note that soil and rock have about half the heat capacity of water and that penetration of temperature fluctuations into the solid earth is much shallower than into water.
Heat capacity of moist, unfrozen soil is much greater than that of dry soil

Current climate, ocean mean conditions: 18C (set by planetary radiation balances)
RH ~ 70% (so that LHF ~ atm. rad. cooling rate)
moisture is whatever it is
T is nearly adiabatic (dry moist adiabat) because vertical convection is efficient (which in turn is because rad. eq. is unstable, so the troposphere is convecting thoroughly).

Land gets whatever humidity it has from the ocean, so its q is some fraction (say 8/10) of the OCEAN's q. That 8/14 depends on (summarizes) continent shape and all myriad wind statistics.

New climate: warmer ocean by 3K because of greater atmospheric emissivity (greenhouse gases), but RH at the surface stays the same because it is set by physics (LHF ~ atm. IR cooling rate, which hasn't changed since radiative fluxes in the new climate are in equilibrium with incoming sunlight, which hasn't changed.)

Land q is still that same fraction (say 8/10) of the OCEAN's q. That 8/10 depends on (summarizes) continent shape and all myriad wind statistics, which (conservative assumption) won't have changed with small climate warming.

Fasullo 2010...CMIP3...Despite differences in magnitude, the nature of the feedbacks governing the land–ocean
contrast are largely robust ...
relative humidity (RH) over land decreases with warming because precipitation and the hydrological
cycle are governed pr marily by transports of moisture from the oceans, where increases in lower-
tropospheric temperature and saturated humidity fail to keep pace with those over land.
...decreased RH raises the lifting condensation level, even as CAPE increases, and suppresses
convective clouds.... particularly strong at low latitudes where the dynamical influence of competing
sources of maritime deep convection may further suppress convection....
...the mean increase in OLR over land (1.0 W/m2/K) is almost double that over the ocean (0.6) ...The
contrast results in an increase in the transport of energy from ocean to land relative to the twentieth
century...lasting increases in both OLR and absorbed shortwave radiation globally. A conceptual model...
...while the land–ocean contrast plays a key role in achieving global radiative equilibrium, it entails
disproportionate increases in temperature and aridity over land and therefore is likely to be associated
with substantial environmental impacts.
