The ACT is the primary seasonal signal of SST in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean.
“This is the primary seasonal signal of SST in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean (Merle et al., 1980, Xie and Carton, 2004, Wauthy, 1983).”

The Atlantic Cold Tongue (ACT) is a zone of relatively cold sea surface temperature that appears from June to September along and slightly south-east of the equator.
“Here, a zone of relatively cold sea surface temperature (SST) appears from June to September along and slightly south-east of the equator: the Atlantic Cold Tongue (ACT).”

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.
