Depth of snow and forst on a palsa mire, Finnish Lapland
Analysis of snow and frost measurements made on a palsa mire in Utsjoki, northernmost Finland from September 1984 to October 1985. Rather good multiple and logarithmic regressions were found between snow and frost depths of March and April
The cyclic development of palsas is not caused by climatic changes| the critical factor is the thickness of snow cover which is controlled by wind drift. Other periglacial phenomena are connected with, and formed by seasonal frost. Such are turf
