Lindzen and Giannitsis (2002) pose the hypothesis that the rapid change in tropospheric (850 — 300 hPa)

Surface temperatures in parts of Europe appear to have have averaged nearly 1 °C below the 20th century mean during multidecadal intervals of the late 16th and late 17th century (and

I have no way of knowing the influence of «family relationships» between models, but it is clear that a large part of the apparent correlation of projected warming rate

surface temperature is due to more runs for some models
than for others, combined
with the close relationships between certain models.
The difference of adding 1998 is greater here
than with the
surface data, because the response of tropospheric

Temperature tends to respond so that, depending on optical properties, LW emission will tend to reduce the vertical differential heating by cooling warmer parts more than cooler parts (for the surface and atmosphere); also (not significant within the atmosphere and ocean in general, but significant at the interface betwen the surface and the air, and also significant (in part due to the small heat fluxes involved, viscosity in the crust and somewhat in the mantle (where there are thick boundary layers with superadiabatic lapse rates) and thermal conductivity of the core) in parts of the Earth's interior) temperature changes will cause conduction / diffusion of heat that partly balances the differenti

If not for the
temperature discontinuity, then the radiation coming from the

with the biggest difference at angles near vertical.
Before allowing the
temperature to respond, we can consider the forcing at the tropopause (TRPP) and at TOA, both reductions in net upward fluxes (though at TOA, the net upward LW flux is simply the OLR); my point is that even without direct solar heating above the tropopause, the forcing at TOA can be less
than the forcing at TRPP (as explained in detail for CO2 in my 348, but in general, it is possible to bring the net upward flux at TRPP toward zero but even
with saturation at TOA, the nonzero skin
temperature requires some nonzero net upward flux to remain — now it just depends on what the net fluxes were before we made the changes, and whether the proportionality of forcings at TRPP and TOA is similar if the effect has not approached saturation at TRPP); the forcing at TRPP is the forcing on the
surface + troposphere, which they must warm up to balance, while the forcing difference between TOA and TRPP is the forcing on the stratosphere; if the forcing at TRPP is larger
than at TOA, the stratosphere must cool, reducing outward fluxes from the stratosphere by the same total amount as the difference in forcings between TRPP and TOA.
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).
Paul S (# 1)-- Since the Planck Response dominates over positive feedback responses to
temperature, wouldn't a La Nina - like failure of
surface temperature to rise lead to an increase rather
than a reduction in energy accumulation compared
with accumulation during a
surface warming — presumably a small increase, so that the observed rise in ocean heat content would still be substantial?
If the
surface temperature is slow to catch up to that imbalance then the energy imbalance remains large, and we can have sufficient net heating to cause much faster changes in the ice sheets
than from the comparatively smaller imbalances caused by the changes in Earth's orbit associated
with the glacial periods in the past.
