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

Is it true that permafrost thaws seasonally at the surface during summer?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the active layer above permafrost thaws seasonally during summer, including NASA and a PANGAEA dataset abstract. Regional field studies in Alaska, Siberia and the Mont Blanc massif further document seasonally thawed layers over permafrost.
