During the Berkeley
Earth averaging process we compare each station to other stations in its local neighborhood, which allows us to identify discontinuities and other heterogeneities in the time series from individual weather stations.
The Berkeley
Earth averaging process presented is extensible to spatial networks of arbitrary density (or locally varying density) while maintaining the expected spatial relationships.
The Berkeley
Earth averaging process generates a variety of Output data including a set of gridded temperature fields, regional averages, and bias - corrected station data.
During the Berkeley
Earth averaging process we compare each station to other stations in its local neighborhood which allows us to identify discontinuities and other inhomogeneities in the time series for individual weather stations.
Especially so since you're listed as coauthor on a paper which concludes the opposite (Berkeley
Earth Averaging Process, p. 26).

Consider the question: Accounting for all the energy transport
processes, how much faster will energy be transported from the surface of the
Earth if the surface warms on
average 1C?
So it seems to me that the simple way of communicating a complex problem has led to several fallacies becoming fixed in the discussions of the real problem; (1) the
Earth is a black body, (2) with no materials either surrounding the systems or in the systems, (3) in radiative energy transport equilibrium, (4) response is chaotic solely based on extremely rough appeal to temporal - based chaotic response, (5) but at the same time exhibits trends, (6) but at the same time
averages of chaotic response are not chaotic, (7) the mathematical model is a boundary value problem yet it is solved in the time domain, (8) absolutely all that matters is the incoming radiative energy at the TOA and the outgoing radiative energy at the
Earth's surface, (9) all the physical phenomena and
processes that are occurring between the TOA and the surface along with all the materials within the subsystems can be ignored, (10) including all other activities of human kind save for our contributions of CO2 to the atmosphere, (11) neglecting to mention that if these were true there would be no problem yet we continue to expend time and money working on the problem.
«Because the solar - thermal energy balance of
Earth [at the top of the atmosphere (TOA)-RSB- is maintained by radiative
processes only, and because all the global net advective energy transports must equal zero, it follows that the global
average surface temperature must be determined in full by the radiative fluxes arising from the patterns of temperature and absorption of radiation.»

processes that result in the outgoing energy being less than the energy flux from the sun

The atmosphere and the ocean are two interacting turbulent media with turbulent
processes going on inside them, and there are all sorts and shapes of physical boundary (of the ocean in particular) that «contain'the eddies in a way that may or may not allow prediction of

Does this mean that, under positive feedback

Earth?
Considering
Earth's
average surface temperature as a reasonable metric (something more along the lines of total surface heat content is probably better, but
average T is not a bad proxy for that), the standard systems theory analysis from the physical constraints implies that that
average T is determined and constrained through a feedback
process.
