Upper-level transport of eBC was observed in profiling studies over Ny-Ålesund.
“Upper-level transport of eBC was also observed in profiling studies performed over Ny-Ålesund (e.g., Cappelletti et al., 2022;Ferrero et al., 2016;Markowicz et al., 2017;Mazzola et al., 2016).”
From In situ vertical observations of the layered structure of air pollution in a continental high-latitude urban boundary layer during winter (2025) · cites this paper as Cappelletti et al., 2022
Section 3.5 (page unavailable) reports elevated eBC above 500 m in profiles over Longyearbyen and says the overall stratification resembled a situation previously observed over Ny-Ålesund. It describes the Ny-Ålesund observation specifically as a nanoparticle plume near the ground, not as upper-level eBC transport there. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCappelletti et al. (2022) reported mean eBC concentrations 110±10 ng m-3 below 500 m and 150±30 ng m-3 above 500 m.
“Cappelletti et al. (2022) reported mean concentrations of 110 ± 10 and 150 ± 30 ng m -3 below and above 500 m, respectively.”
From In situ vertical observations of the layered structure of air pollution in a continental high-latitude urban boundary layer during winter (2025) · cites this paper as Cappelletti et al. (2022)
Section 3.5 (page unavailable) reports averaged vertical profiles with higher eBC above 500 m, supporting the claimed altitude pattern. Our copy does not state the attributed means of 110 ± 10 and 150 ± 30 ng m⁻³, so the numerical claim is not verified. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
