--- slug: what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure passed: 2026-10-14 by: the assay line (research/assay-line/cited-1014b/), Codex fixer directed by claude-assaying-boyle-1014; source record by Codex, checked by Codex and a Claude agent checked: 121 confirmed: 98 wrong: 22 # 17 WRONG and 5 MINOR unverifiable: 0 observed: 0 stale: 1 --- This was the directed 2026-10-14 repair pass for the cited-1014b assay, read against cf567dd539. It records one line for each of the 23 triage items, including duplicate checker findings, after the fixer re-read their evidence. It carries forward the 98 other claims marked CONFIRMED by at least one checker in N2-codex.md and N2-claude.md; those are attributed checker findings, not a claim that every source was fetched again for this repair. Where Codex used OBSERVED and Claude used CONFIRMED, the note preserves that distinction. Five MINOR lines count in wrong for the header arithmetic. The 17 WRONG lines share four substantive corrections, the five MINOR lines share two control repairs, and the STALE line is the exempt JSON-LD modification date. ## Claims - WRONG | [X1; dek-anything-wet] The twist: the myth is true for anything wet, evaporation pulls wet surfaces below air temperature toward the wet-bulb limit | https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/definitions/dry_wet_bulb_definition/dry_wet_bulb.html | Wet-bulb and air temperatures coincide at 100% relative humidity.

The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [wind-evaporation] Wind can speed and sustain evaporation. | https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/sir20255057/full | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Evaporation: "A review of the daily evaporation estimates with atmospheric data displays predicted responses in which increasing evaporation is associated with increasing temperatures and wind speed and decreasing evaporation is associated with decreasing temperatures and precipitation events (Reclamation, 2024; USGS, 2023).". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [physical-dependencies] Actual pipe and skin temperatures depend on geometry, material, internal heat, radiation, moisture supply, and time, none of which wind chill specifies. | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The excerpt is narrower than the full list, but OFCM section 3.2.1 fixes the face geometry and section 3.2.2 describes internal conduction plus convection and radiation. Actual bodies need their own heat balance; the wind-chill output specifies an equivalent temperature, not the actual state of an arbitrary pipe or person. - CONFIRMED | [historical-1945-label] 1945: freezing water | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: 1945 is the publication year, confirmed by the cited report and the Met Office catalogue. In the body this heading is immediately followed by the expedition dates, so it can fairly label the 1945 published index. The explicit "calibrated in 1945" metadata is separately WRONG. This repair labels the experiment 1941 and states publication in 1945 explicitly. - CONFIRMED | [historical-cylinder] Siple and Passel timed water freezing in small plastic cylinders during the 1939 to 1941 US Antarctic expedition. | https://www.scribd.com/document/1008440898/2005-The-New-Wind-Chill-Equivalent-Tempertaure-Chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The 2005 article text is readable in the cited Scribd page: "small plastic bottle suspended from a post on the roof" and "Expedition, 1939-41". OFCM section 2.2.3 also says "water-filled plastic cylinders" and "recorded the time to freeze the water". - CONFIRMED | [historical-expedition] during the 1939 to 1941 US Antarctic expedition. | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf; https://www.scribd.com/document/1008440898/2005-The-New-Wind-Chill-Equivalent-Tempertaure-Chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The record excerpt establishes 1941 but does not supply the 1939 starting year. The 2005 paper supplies "United States Antarctic Expedition, 1939-41". Claim confirmed with that additional source context. - CONFIRMED | [historical-heat-loss] Their index described the cylinder's heat loss per unit area. | https://www.scribd.com/document/1008440898/2005-The-New-Wind-Chill-Equivalent-Tempertaure-Chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The readable 2005 article says "a three- or four-digit number representing the rate of heat loss" followed by "of the cylinder per unit surface area." The source tool missed the excerpt, but direct curl and text extraction recover it. - CONFIRMED | [modern-2001-label] 2001: an exposed face | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Executive Summary, p. vi: "NWS and MSC agreed to and did implement it on November 1 and October 31, respectively, for the winter season of 2001-2002.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [modern-replacement] The US and Canada replaced that calibration with a steady-state face model and a regression formula. | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, 3.2.1, p. 3-1; 3.2.2, p. 3-2; 3.4.2, p. 3-5: "The adult face, modeled as the front half of a vertical cylinder, was used as the area affected by the wind since the face was usually exposed to the cold weather.

At this wind chill temperature, exposed skin can freeze in 30 minutes.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [radiator-no-wind] NWS does not state the wind speed in that example. | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read the complete NWS radiator paragraph: it gives "-5°F" and "-31°F" without a wind speed. Positive control: the same extraction finds the separate NWS example "wind is blowing at 15 mph". This is a bounded absence claim, not a failed page fetch. - CONFIRMED | [radiator-floor] Its dry-object floor remains −5°F, exactly as NWS says. | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, FAQ: Does wind chill apply only to people and animals?: "For example, if the temperature outside is -5°F and the wind chill temperature is -31°F, then your car's radiator will not drop lower than -5°F.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [race-declared-constants] τpipe = 50/(1 + 0.08V), τskin = 25/(1 + 0.12V), 68°F, 20 minutes | git show 632d05207f:public/strata/what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure/index.html | Retained Claude checker finding: Matches the code.

Dividing Pa by 1000 gives the stated 101.325 kPa. - CONFIRMED | [wet-real-surface] pressure, radiation, moisture supply, and geometry would move a real surface. | https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/definitions/dry_wet_bulb_definition/dry_wet_bulb.html; https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf; https://itl.nist.gov/div898/winds/pdf_files/TN1994.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The record excerpt only mentions humidity, so it is incomplete support. The same source describes the wet bandage and evaporation; NIST equation A.5 explicitly includes pressure, and OFCM 3.2.1-3.2.2 includes geometry and radiation in a real surface heat balance. These qualifications are consistent with those fuller sources. - CONFIRMED | [frostbite-model] NWS frostbite colors are estimates from a facial-cooling model and are not personal exposure guidance. | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, 3.4.3, p. 3-5: "The model is based on a dynamic model of the face and uses a finite difference approximation technique. The preliminary model calculations gave initial times to occurrence of frostbite under certain winds and air temperatures.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [equal-wct] Equal WCT does not guarantee equal freezing time. | https://weather.missouri.edu/gcc/OFCMWindchillReport.pdf | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, 3.4.3, p. 3-6: "One may note in Table 3.3 that there are several cases where the same wind chill value occurs in different frostbite zones.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [above-freezing] Above freezing, wind chill cannot create frostbite. | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, FAQ: Is frostbite possible when the temperature is above freezing but the wind chill is below freezing?: "The air temperature has to be BELOW freezing for frostbite to develop on exposed skin.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [hypothermia] NWS is equally clear that hypothermia can still occur. | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Same FAQ: "Wind chill can NOT bring the temperature to below freezing for humans and animals when the thermometer says it is above freezing, so you will not get frostbite; however, you might get hypothermia from exposure to cold.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [citation-nws] NWS, Understanding Wind Chill. | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Page title: "Understanding Wind Chill". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [apparatus-nws] The formula, its domain, assumptions, −19°F example, 30-minute chart statement, −5°F radiator floor, and above-freezing distinction come from NWS | https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Opening paragraph, index assumptions, and FAQs: "If the temperature is 0°F and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the wind chill is -19°F. At this wind chill temperature, exposed skin can freeze in 30 minutes.

The full 2002 PDF supplies the missing substance: section 2 describes the face and walking assumptions, section 3 the steady-state iteration, and section 4 the regression and 2001 implementation. - CONFIRMED | [citation-1945] Siple and Passel, Measurements of Dry Atmospheric Cooling in Subfreezing Temperatures (1945), pp. 177 to 199. | https://library.metoffice.gov.uk/Portal/Default/en-GB/RecordView/Index/279200 | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Catalogue record 279200: "Measurements of dry atmospheric cooling in subfreezing temperatures. [...] Siple, P.A. Passel, C.F. Publication Date: 1945 [...] pp.177-199". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [computed-comparison-disclosure] The old/new comparison is a computed formula comparison, not a claim that every strong-wind case differs by 10°F to 15°F. | git show 632d05207f:research/what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure/README.md | Retained Claude checker finding: Matches the README and the code (a single point, 0°F and 15 mph). Codex classified this as OBSERVED; the retained confirmation is against the cited record or computation, not a fresh outside observation. - CONFIRMED | [placard-reads-page] This layer's check reads the bytes this page serves and asserts against them. | git show 632d05207f:research/what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure/verify-what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure.mjs | Retained Claude checker finding: readFileSync of public/strata/.../index.html, with 12 "page discloses" assertions plus closing-tag and em-dash checks. Note: those are substring-presence checks, so changing the sentence "which NWS publishes as −19°F" to −29°F in a scratch copy still passes 31/31. The page prints no verifier transcript, so step 6 does not apply. Codex classified this as OBSERVED; the retained confirmation is against the cited record or computation, not a fresh outside observation. The repaired verifier also executes the served script and checks it against the NWS chart fixture. - CONFIRMED | [placard-same-reading] It is reading what you are reading. | git show 632d05207f:research/what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure/verify-what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure.mjs | Retained Claude checker finding: It reads the served HTML file. The live page equals the repository file plus the analytics pulse script. Codex classified this as OBSERVED; the retained confirmation is against the cited record or computation, not a fresh outside observation. - CONFIRMED | [related-conduction] metal colder than wood treats conduction and touch | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/metal-colder-than-wood.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read the pinned sibling page: it discusses contact heat transfer and uses "T_contact = (e_skin·T_skin + e_obj·T_obj) / (e_skin + e_obj)". The description of the linked page is accurate. - CONFIRMED | [related-humid-heat] wet-bulb temperature takes the evaporative limit into dangerous heat. | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/wet-bulb-temperature.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The pinned sibling opens "It isn't the heat that kills, it's whether your sweat can evaporate" and discusses wet-bulb physiological limits. The link description accurately describes its subject. - CONFIRMED | [related-rates] Both expose cold as a rate, but by different routes. | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/metal-colder-than-wood.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The pinned sibling explicitly says "'Cold' is a rate of heat loss, not a property of the thing." It treats contact conduction while the audited page treats wind-dependent surface heat loss. - CONFIRMED | [related-models] That page is contact conduction and thermal effusivity; this one is convection, an official equivalent-temperature index, and the history of its calibration. | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/metal-colder-than-wood.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The pinned sibling explains thermal effusivity and the contact-temperature equation; the audited page supplies the convection model and calibration history. This is a description of their contents, not a fresh endorsement of every sibling claim. - CONFIRMED | [related-wet] evaporation can take a surface below air temperature toward wet bulb. | https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/definitions/dry_wet_bulb_definition/dry_wet_bulb.html | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Wet Bulb Temperature: "The adiabatic evaporation of water from the thermometer and the cooling effect is indicated by a "wet bulb temperature" lower than the "dry bulb temperature" in the air.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. This repair adds the unsaturated-air condition for consistency with X1/K1. - CONFIRMED | [related-wet-physiology] The sibling page follows that same psychrometric limit into humid-heat physiology. | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/wet-bulb-temperature.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The pinned sibling discusses sweating, wet-bulb temperature and the approximate physiological limit quoted in the record. The claim here is that this is the sibling's topic, which is supported. - CONFIRMED | [related-head] Two corrections about body heat that replace a memorable slogan with surface area and heat-transfer rate. | git show 632d05207f:src/content/strata/heat-lost-through-your-head.md | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The pinned head-heat page discusses the rule-of-nines areas, heat-transfer coefficients, and a covered-body preset. This confirms the description of the linked page's contents. - CONFIRMED | [related-safety] Both keep the safety boundary visible instead of turning a model into personal advice. | git show 632d05207f:public/strata/what-does-wind-chill-actually-measure/index.html; git show 632d05207f:public/strata/heat-lost-through-your-head/index.html | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read both pages. This page says "This page informs" and links NWS; the head page says "advice here is deliberately non-specific and not medical guidance." The record excerpt alone covered only this page, so the other page was checked too. - CONFIRMED | [incoming-sunshine] two weather numbers that sound like plain facts about the sky and are really definitions set by an instrument or an index | https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/guides/observations/how-we-measure-sunshine | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, How we measure sunlight: "A threshold intensity of 120 Wm-2 defines the occurrence of full sunshine.". The excerpt supports the claim in context. - CONFIRMED | [incoming-dew] the same wind is what keeps a lawn from getting cold | https://archive.org/download/b21299742/b21299742_djvu.txt | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: Read at the source, Wells, An Essay on Dew (1814), p. 84, section V: "the frequent application of warm air must quickly return a heat equal, or nearly so, to that which they had lost by radiation.".

The sentence states a rule, not a claim that no page contains an error. - CONFIRMED | [site-claims-pass] Claims are being checked against their sources, layer by layer, and the working is shown on the page. | git show 632d05207f:assay/README.md | Retained Claude checker finding: Excerpt present. Codex classified this as OBSERVED; the retained confirmation is against the cited record or computation, not a fresh outside observation. - CONFIRMED | [site-corrections] When a check finds something false, the page says what changed and when. | git show 632d05207f:assay/README.md; git show 632d05207f:public/media/plain-button.js | Retained Codex and Claude checker finding: The record excerpt about MINOR repairs does not support this sentence by itself. Read the preceding rule: the dated "Corrected" line is for "WRONG claims, the kind a reader carries away". public/media/plain-button.js:40-42 explicitly explains this distinction. The full source supports the site policy; the selected excerpt was incomplete. - CONFIRMED | [site-topic-search] Most pages are a single deep dive into one strange, specific thing, and search engines tend to drop you straight into the middle of one. | git show 632d05207f:public/media/plain-button.js | Retained Claude checker finding: The file's header: "our readers arrive DEEP: search and AI answers drop a cold visitor straight onto a weird-titled page". The log excerpt is present too. Codex classified this as OBSERVED; the retained confirmation is against the cited record or computation, not a fresh outside observation. ## Findings - [fixed] X1 (WRONG): Qualified the dek, JSON-LD, plain summaries, social descriptions and wet-bulb relation notes with unsaturated air and possible evaporative cooling. Added the shared wet-surface correction to the page and markdown. - [fixed] X2 (WRONG): Changed the dek and JSON-LD calibration year to 1941, retained 1945 as publication, and made the history heading and body distinguish the two. Added the shared history correction to both page bodies. - [dated] X3 (STALE): Set JSON-LD dateModified to 2026-10-14. Kept STALE; no Updated line under the explicit metadata exception, because the four Corrected lines already date this revision. - [fixed] X4 (MINOR): Changed the wording to above 3 mph and the formula control minimum to 3.01 mph. No page correction line for this MINOR. - [fixed] X5 (MINOR): Changed the wording to above 3 mph and the formula control minimum to 3.01 mph. No page correction line for this MINOR. - [fixed] X6 (MINOR): Set the wind step to 0.01 mph with a compatible 3.01 mph minimum. Native Firefox now selects exactly 25.55 and displays -31 F. The inverse equation and label were already correct when rounded. No page correction line for this MINOR. - [fixed] X7 (WRONG): Changed the static label to air 0 F and added the shared initial-label correction to both page bodies. - [fixed] X8 (MINOR): Set the wind step to 0.01 mph with a compatible 3.01 mph minimum. Native Firefox now selects exactly 25.55 and displays -31 F. The inverse equation and label were already correct when rounded. No page correction line for this MINOR. - [fixed] X9 (WRONG): Replaced the wind-chill-only thresholds with the source chart cells indexed by air temperature and wind, and distinguished not-tabulated inputs from actual cells outside the colored zones. Added the shared frostbite correction to both page bodies. The served script is checked against all 216 transcribed chart cells; the 204 cells within the slider range are supported without interpolation. - [fixed] X10 (WRONG): Replaced the wind-chill-only thresholds with the source chart cells indexed by air temperature and wind, and distinguished not-tabulated inputs from actual cells outside the colored zones. Added the shared frostbite correction to both page bodies. The served script is checked against all 216 transcribed chart cells; the 204 cells within the slider range are supported without interpolation. - [fixed] X11 (WRONG): Replaced the wind-chill-only thresholds with the source chart cells indexed by air temperature and wind, and distinguished not-tabulated inputs from actual cells outside the colored zones.

Added the shared frostbite correction to both page bodies. The served script is checked against all 216 transcribed chart cells; the 204 cells within the slider range are supported without interpolation. - [fixed] X15 (WRONG): Replaced the wind-chill-only thresholds with the source chart cells indexed by air temperature and wind, and distinguished not-tabulated inputs from actual cells outside the colored zones. Added the shared frostbite correction to both page bodies. The served script is checked against all 216 transcribed chart cells; the 204 cells within the slider range are supported without interpolation. - [fixed] K1 (WRONG): Qualified the dek, JSON-LD, plain summaries, social descriptions and wet-bulb relation notes with unsaturated air and possible evaporative cooling. Added the shared wet-surface correction to the page and markdown. - [fixed] K2 (WRONG): Changed the dek and JSON-LD calibration year to 1941, retained 1945 as publication, and made the history heading and body distinguish the two. Added the shared history correction to both page bodies. - [fixed] K3 (MINOR): Changed the wording to above 3 mph and the formula control minimum to 3.01 mph.
