Other ways that the standard or «consensus» calculations
bias the climate sensitivity
upward also exist and are also not negligible (or at least there is no scientific case that they are negligible), but for now it is sufficient to think about, and try to estimate, the magnitude of the increase
in H2O and latent heat flow from surface to upper troposphere.
This
biases the estimate of the climate sensitivity
in the

What our analysis does do is confirm that the explicitly stated data issues that come with the JTWC best track do have a temporal dependence
in them, and as it happens, this
bias introduces an
upward trend
in metrics based on intensity.
The WMO quotes only surface temperature data, which may be subject to
upward biases from meteorological stations sited
in cities and ships that are thermal sources.
I've done a fair amount of calculations trying to estimate this
bias, and
in the case of paleoclimate 3C estimates, an

bias is not unreasonable, especially when the «consensus» position is to basically ignore milankovitch cycles when explaining temperature changes over the pleistocene, even though milankovitch cycles are the ultimate causes of those temperature changes.

Or maybe, «As shown
in Figures 1.4 and 1.5, since the end of the 1992 Pinatubo volcano, models have predicted a steady
upward trend
in global average temperatures, but the observed series have been comparatively trendless, and thus the range of model warming predictions since the early 1990s can be seen to have been
biased towards more warming than was subsequently observed.»

in essence curve fits of some variation on a random walk, tweaked to have an overall
