  • The 'Divergence Problem' (DP) in dendrochronology is the idiopathic decoupling of tree growth to rising instrumental summer temperatures since around the 1970s.

    “One prominent example of possible ecosystem dysfunction is the 'Divergence Problem' (DP) in dendrochronology: The idiopathic decoupling of tree growth to rising instrumental summer temperatures since around the 1970s (Smith et al., 1999; Briffa et al ., 1998; D'Arrigo et al ., 2008; Esper and Frank, 2009).”

  • Aerosols curtail surface irradiance and cause light diffusion, with the strongest impact over central and eastern Siberia, Alaska and Canada.

    “These have been shown to curtail surface irradiance and to cause light diffusion (Stine and Huybers, 2014), with the strongest impact over central and eastern Siberia, as well as parts of Alaska and Canada (Briffa et al ., 1998).”

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.
