Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mean velocity profiles for the zonal and meridional velocities confirm the results of García Melendo et al. [2011] and extend them in the northern hemisphere to 89.9oN.

    “We have also deduced mean velocity profiles for the zonal and meridional velocities, confirming the results of García Melendo et al. [2011] and extending them in the northern hemisphere to 89.9 o in the North.”

    From Dynamics of Saturn's polar regions (2015) · cites this paper as García Melendo et al. [2011]

  • The wind profile was retrieved using three methods: cloud tracking, one-dimensional brightness correlation, and two-dimensional brightness correlation.

    “Three methods were employed to retrieve the wind profile: cloud tracking on image pairs separated by one planetary rotation (about 10 hr), brightness correlation of one-dimensional zonal scans along each hexagon side at different latitudes ( García-Melendo et al. , 2011), and twodimensional brightness correlation over polar projected images ( Hueso et al, 2009).”
  • The Cassini ISS CB2 images approximately sense the same altitude level as the Voyager images.

    “Here we present new measurements of the jet in 2008, 2009 and 2012 based on Cassini ISS CB2 images that approximately sense the same altitude level as the Voyager images ( GarcíaMelendo et al. , 2011).”

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.
