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

  • Current LST products are constrained by the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions imposed by sensor fabrication limitations, which severely limits their practical applications.

    “current LST products are often constrained by the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions.”

    From PGDM: Physically guided diffusion model for land surface temperature downscaling (2025) · cites this paper as Dong et al., 2020

  • For both the kernel-driven and DCF models, the accuracy discrepancy between the linear and nonlinear variants is not significant.

    “For both the kernel-driven and DCF models, the accuracy discrepancy between the linear and nonlinear variants is not significant, which is consistent with previous studies (Dong et al., 2020; Hutengs and Vohland, 2016).”

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.
