In all cases so far, the estimated rise in temperature (given the current level of carbon dioxide) is in the neighborhood of two to three degrees, suggesting that the results are robust.

Given those assumptions, looking at the forcing over a long - enough multi-decadal period and seeing the temperature response gives an estimate of the transient climate response (TCR) and, additionally if an estimate of the ocean heat content change is incorporated (which is a measure of the unrealised radiative imbalance), the ECS can be estimated too.

As a final step, after all station records within 1200 km of a given grid point have been averaged, we subtract the 1951 - 1980 mean temperature for the grid point to obtain the estimated temperature anomaly time series of that grid point.

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).

Their approach requires an estimate of the forced global mean temperature in a given year (excluding any natural variability), which are derived from Otto et al (2015), who employ a regression approach to reconstruct a prediction of global mean temperatures as a function of anthropogenic and natural forcing agents.

Indeed, the main quandary faced by climate scientists is how to estimate climate sensitivity from the Little Ice Age or Medieval Warm Period, at all, given the relative small forcings over the past 1000 years, and the substantial uncertainties in both the forcings and the temperature changes.

The unforced temperature estimate is used as a proxy for what cumulative emissions should be given the current level of warming.

Comparing the yearly and estimated temperature, gives us a long term temperature trend upward of about 0.3 deg.

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).»

A lot of the observation based estimates are likely biased low, as outlined in the Ringberg report just due to assumptions of linearity in the evolution of surface temperature in response to some given radiative nudge on the system.

Observational errors on any one annual mean temperature anomaly estimate are around 0.1 deg C, and the errors from the linear fits are given in the text.

So the two estimates (with and without solar forcing) give me a range of 0.7 C to 1.4 C for the 2xCO2 climate sensitivity, based on actually observed CO2 and temperature records, rather than model simulations and assumptions.

I think this has merit even as a cross check BUT, any system where temperatures are estimated from surrounding sites are affected by the time lags — For example there is no relationship between Adelaide and Melbourne on any given day but there IS a relationship between Melbourne and Adelaide lagged by one day because the predominant west to east motion of weather systems in this part of the world.

Yes, the data set for the polar regions is far more sparse and subject to educated extrapolations that other regions, but excluding any estimate at all for temperature changes in these all important polar regions by excluding them is to to give an incomplete and, IMO, quite inaccurate, view of climate change.

One of the early objectives of the new system would be to refine the model so that it better matched the measured temperatures, thus giving better estimated temperatures.

It wouldn't even matter if at a given location on a particular day the estimated maximum temperature was lower than the estimated minimum temperature.

For this reason, a number of researchers have suggested that it should be possible to estimate the long term Sea Surface Temperature trends for a given area by averaging together all the available measurements from different voyages that went through that area in a given month.

To estimate uncertainty in total committed rise given some temperature increase, we use the derived Antarctic intervals, plus the ranges for the first three SLR components as shown in figure 2 A — C of ref.

Given BP, SL, and sea surface temperature fields, good estimates of full - column HC variations can be made at low and middle latitudes.

The consistency between these two data sets gives confidence in the ocean temperature data set used for estimating depth - integrated heat content, and supports the trends in SST reported in Chapter 3.

Satellites supposedly overcome that concern about UHI by sampling uniformly in order to give a true estimate of global mean surface temperature.

Fortunately, the negative and positive forcings are roughly equal and cancel each other out, and the natural forcings over the past half century have also been approximately zero (Meehl 2004), so the radiative forcing from CO2 alone gives us a good estimate as to how much we expect to see the Earth's surface temperature change.

If the two methods do lead to different estimates of climate sensitivity, I find it difficult to believe that the 1D model is more appropriate than 3D to making claims about how much the real average temperature will rise due to a given influence.
