  • The model is highly relevant for the study of natural storm-triggered slab avalanches because its application is not limited to wind-blowing snow events but can also account for additional loads due to snowfall.

    “This is highly relevant for the study of natural storm-triggered slab avalanches 29 because its application is not limited only to wind-blowing snow events but can also account for additional loads due to a snowfall.”

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.
