The single-model nudging design constrains circulation to ERA5 in both HIST and NAT and suppresses soil-moisture-to-circulation feedbacks, so the clean dynamic/thermodynamic separation it licenses is itself limited.

The circulation-nudging approach is limited by its single-model setup and by potentially constraining thermodynamically forced large-scale circulation changes and local land–atmosphere feedbacks to ERA5 circulation.
