My main problem with that study is that the
weather models don't use any forcings at all — no changes in ozone, CO2, volcanos, aerosols, solar etc. — and so while some of the effects of the forcings might be captured (
since the
weather models assimilate satellite
data etc.), there is no reason to think that they get all of the signal — particularly for near surface effects (tropospheric ozone for instance).
However the temperature signal is a splice of
weather balloon
data (RATPAC - A) to the end of 1979 followed by satellite
data (UAH TLT)

since the project began.
Given how the naval protection of maritime trade is an ancient raison d'etre for navies, which traditionally have also sought to have the best knowledge of
weather for tactical advantage, plus the increase in high seas piracy (coincidentally
since not too long before when the
data went anonymous) where it's to a navies advantage for not allowing resourceful pirates to know whether their ships have been in the area even in the last few days, I wouldn't discount the anonymising being primarily for military reasons.
I recall confidentiality agreements came up previously
since climatologists needed the details but some countries profit by selling such detailed
weather data to businesses for scheduling activities like travel or roadbuilding.
Both the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) satellite (analyzed by the University of Alabama in Huntsville by John Christy and Roy Spencer) and
weather balloon
data (trends reported by a number of researchers, notably Jim Angell at NOAA) have failed to show significant warming

since instrumental records began.
After using satellite
data and a smart statistical method to fill gaps in the network of

since 1980.
