To gain maximum value from these improved holdings it is imperative that as a global community we now analyze them in multiple distinct ways to ascertain better estimates of the true evolution of surface temperatures locally, regionally, and globally.
The famous «255 K» value for no greenhouse effect on Earth is an example of this, although in reality if we got that cold you would expect a snowball - like Earth and a much higher albedo from the increased brightness of the surface... and thus the «no - greenhouse temperature» would be even colder than 255 K.
Thus, given the height and value of the emission temperature, we can get a simple estimate for the surface temperature: 255K + 5.5 km * 6K / km = 288K (= 15oC; close to the global mean estimated from observations given by NCDC of ~ 14oC).
My amateur spreadsheet tracking and projecting the monthly NASA GISS values suggests that while 2018 and 2019 are likely to be cooler than 2017, they may also be the last years on Earth with global average land and ocean surface temperature anomaly below 1C above pre-industrial average (using 1850 - 1900 proxy).
Radiative equilibrium at small LW optical thickness occurs when the whole atmosphere has a temperature such that the Planck function is about half of that of the surface (a skin temperature), whereas at larger LW optical thicknesses, the equilibrium profile has a signficant drop in the Planck function through the atmosphere, approaching half the OLR value at TOA and approaching the surface value towards the surface — of course, convection near the surface will bring a closer match between surface and surface - air temperatures.
the problem is that this definition implicitly assumes that the global, time average surface temperature is a definite single valued function of the radiative average forcing, which is far from being true since there are considerable horizontal heat transfer modifying the latitudinal repartition of temperature: the local vertical radiative budget is NOT verified.
(Within the range where water vapor feedback is runaway, zero change in external forcing»cause s» a large change in climate; the equilibrium surface temperature, graphed over some measure of external forcing, takes a step at some particular value.)
You stated: «Thus, given the height and value of the emission temperature, we can get a simple estimate for the surface temperature: 255K + 5.5 km * 6K / km = 288K (= 15oC; close to the global mean estimated from observations given by NCDC of ~ 14oC).»

It stands to reason that the oceans haven't been that warm in a while but since the average temperature of the whole mass of water is so dependent on circulation (it's only the surface temperature that's constrained by its interactions with the atmosphere and space), I suppose a plausible history of that particular value would be very hard to reconstruct.
Elsewhere, the background forecast model plays a stronger role, helping values of surface air temperature to be derived from other types of observation, such as sea - surface temperatures and winds.
If such a signal existed, it would, indeed, be strong empirical data to support a numeric value of total climate sensitivity; the rise of surface temperature as a result as a result of adding CO2 to the atmopshere.

An ominous sign considering that El Nino is the hot phase of atmospheric and surface temperature variability — which may mean that the next El Nino will drive a global high temperature departure even more extreme than 2014's record setting value.
I would have thought that the pre-1900 surface temperatures are not likely to be important for determining climate sensitivity, because CO2 levels would still not then have risen that far from pre-industrial values.
While working for estimation of IWV using GPS, I learned that the diurnal variations in GPS - IWV can be obtained if we use high resolution (better than 6 hours i.e. 3 hourly) surface temperature and pressure values.
The Oceanic Niño Index, the three - month - average sea surface temperature departure from the long - term normal in one region of the Pacific Ocean, is the primary number we use to measure the ocean part of El Niño, and that value for November — January is 2.3 °C, tied with the same period in 1997 - 98.
By assuming that the absolute value of the «average» surface temperature common to both the atmosphere and oceans is 4 - 5 C lower than the actual, there would be considerable error wouldn't there?

The people in charge of the surface stations and the data adjusters don't seem to understand that from a perspective of the climate history having any real utility in indicating a «global temperature trend» their sensors need to report the same values regardless of a change in technology.
El Niño and La Niña years were classifed as those with MEI values of greater than 0.5 and less than -0.5, respectively (which correspond to warming or cooling effects of ~ 0.04 °C or more on the annual global surface temperature anomaly, according to Foster & Rahmstorf).
Plugging in our possible climate sensitivity values, this gives us an expected surface temperature change of about 1 — 2.2 °C of global warming, with a most likely value of 1.4 °C.
The group highlighted the added value of measuring paired coral strontium / calcium ratios (Sr / Ca) and oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O), two key proxies for sea surface temperature that are often referred to as paleothermometers (δ18O also reflects sea surface salinity).
My understanding is that they have added an artificial heat flux to that part of the ocean, whose strongest effect has been the recent removal of heat to force the surface temperature to the observed values of last 15 years.
