Short summary
Seasonally frozen ground strongly influences land–atmosphere interactions, yet its simulation remains uncertain in land surface models. This study evaluates 2 standalone LSM simulations forced by reanalysis data (1986-2022) and validates results against reference observations at 26 Russian sites. Results show contrasting biases linked to snow insulation and freeze–thaw processes, highlighting the need for improved snow and soil parameterizations.
