Domain-specific¶
- Ocean Current
- The load-bearing consequence is a remote one: northwestern Europe — Britain, Ireland, coastal Norway — is markedly milder in winter than eastern North America at the same latitude (compare maritime Norway to similarly-latitude Labrador or Hudson Bay), a contrast of order fifteen to twenty degrees that no local property of those coasts explains
This sourceTakes exactly this contrast as its premise — western Europe roughly 15 to 20 °C warmer in winter than eastern North America at the same latitude — and then argues that its principal cause is advection by the mean winds rather than Gulf Stream heat transport, the ocean's own contribution being worth a few degrees rather than the whole anomaly.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
