Extreme weather situations causing mountain debris flows in Climatological extremes in the mountains, Physical background, geomorphological and ecological consequences.

Description :
In periglacial, northern areas debris slides and flows are mainly initiated by intense rainfall in summer and autumn, caused either by cyclonic rainstorms or by convectional rainfall cells. The frequency of landslide-triggering rainstorms in arctic mountains is low, but their effects on the slope forms and deposits can be long-lasting due to very slow regrowth.
