Abstract

A procedure is presented to find the most efficient walking route to inspect 16 rain gauges within a mountainous location on the Faeroe Islands. Measured walking times on varying slopes and crossing shallow rivers were used as inputs to establish a friction-based cost surface. Subsequently, a cost path analysis led to identification of a web of least-cost paths between the locations. Finally, the most time-saving route to visit all rain gauges in one round trip from the base camp was found using network optimizing software.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, 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?

  • Previous work identified the existence of a critical gradient, the angle at which it is faster to zig-zag up a hill rather than ascend directly, occurring at a walking slope of around 15-21 degrees.

    “Furthermore, previous work [11, 29–31] has identified the existence of a critical gradient; the angle at which it is faster to zig-zag up a hill, rather than ascend directly. This occurs at a walking slope of around 15—21 degrees, so models which failed to predict the critical gradient occurring below 21 degrees were removed.”

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.
