“Based on the PDSI, Dai (2011, 2013) and Van Der Schrier et al. (2011) reported that the specific formulation of the ET0 equation had little effect on the magnitude of global drought, but Sheffield et al. (2012) used the same index and found substantial differences based on different data.”

“We know that global mean rainfall is increasing quite slowly (at least compared to Clausius-Clapeyron and extreme rain); we also know that PET generally increases as the temperature does (although the difference between daily max and min temperatures obviously matters).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
