Debris flows tend to move in a series of pulses, or discrete surges, wherein each pulse or surge has a distinctive head, body and tail. A debris flow in Ladakh, triggered by storms in 2010. It has poor sorting and levees. Steep source catchment is visible in background. Debris-flow deposits are readily recognizable in the field.
Rainfall of this magnitude is expected to cause significant urban flooding, debris flow on roadways and river flooding. Precipitation is falling as snow in higher elevations, with multiple feet ...
