Deep-flow models generate equatorial subrotation only with intrinsic heat fluxes even stronger than those for which they generate superrotation, although the intrinsic heat fluxes on Uranus and Neptune are weaker than those on Jupiter and Saturn.
“They generate equatorial subrotation only with intrinsic heat fluxes even stronger than those for which they generate superrotation (Aurnou et al. 2007), although the intrinsic heat fluxes on the subrotating planets (Uranus and Neptune) are weaker than those on the superrotating planets (Jupiter and Saturn).”

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.
