Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Retrieved oceanographic studies support the claim that Mediterranean water eddies (meddies) form and are maintained through specific physical ocean conditions, such as potential vorticity conservation, stratification, and rotational dynamics.

The analysis

Papers [3], [5], and [9] all explicitly discuss Mediterranean water eddies (meddies), detailing their formation mechanisms, structural maintenance, and interactions with surrounding ocean stratification and dynamics. No papers refute the claim.
