Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary study estimates that omission of rain effects may cause current global carbon-budget estimates to understate the ocean sink by 10 ± 5%. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The study estimates that excluding rain effects causes current global carbon-budget estimates to underestimate the ocean carbon sink by 10 ± 5%.; The primary analysis estimates a 10 ± 5% ocean-sink underestimation from excluding rain effects in global carbon budgets.; The primary analysis estimated that omitted rain effects could account for a 10 ± 5% underestimation of the ocean carbon sink.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
