If one was to redo those papers, you would choose the efficacies most relevant to their calculations (i.e. the ERF derived values for Otto et al) along with their adjustment for the ocean heat uptake (in our sensitivity test), and conclude that instead of an ECS of 2.0 ºC [likely range 1.4 - 3.2], you'd get 3.0 ºC [likely range 1.8 - 6.2].

With respect to the latter, there was a recent article in Nature, «Observational evidence for an ocean heat pump induced by tropical cyclones» by Ryan Sriver and Matthew Huber.

So given a forcing (in this case 0.85 W / m2 (= 1.6 W / m2 minus 0.75 W / m2 for the ocean heat content change), and a temperature change 0.7 °C, the sensitivity is 0.7 / 0.85 = ~ 0.8 °C / (W / m2)(leaving off the error bars for clarity)- gavin]
