Epistemic Restraints
  • Harbor environment with localized spatial geomorphology; cannot extrapolate to offshore reefs (Blocked Overclaim H2).
  • On July 19, 2026, the retained KYWF1 daily mean was approximately 0.95 °C warmer than the CRW SST@90th_HS value. These measurements are spatially and physically non-equivalent and should not be interpreted as establishing a persistent offset.
