Could hull sensors and drifting
buoys offset changeover from insulated buckets to engine inlets?
I used quotes from the Karl et al 2015 itself which categorically stated that 0.026 °C of the 0.064 trend difference between ERSSTv3b and ERSSTv4 was attributable to the «
buoy offset correction» and the «additional weight given to the buoys».
Therefore, both
the buoy offset correction and the 6.8 weighting played a major part in pushing the global surface temp trend from 0.039 °C to 0.086 °C per decade and therefore played a major part in busting the pause.
[
The buoy offset correction contributed 0.014 °C decade − 1 to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012 °C decade − 1 (supplementary materials).]»
They added that the «
buoy offset correction contributed 0.014 °C... to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012 °C.»

While there is still an effect for changeover from insulated buckets to engine inlets after the 1970s, there is also evidence that the introduction of
buoys in this period results in an
offsetting cold bias.
So maybe there are a couple of
offsetting errors and that's why things level off after 1980 (but which would count against their hopes to find an extra 0.1 deg C in the
buoys).
