This report discusses questions concerning the formation of a slope runoff in the case of a deep lie of the permafrost water confining layer and available length slope thickness of the thaw layer. It is under such conditions that most floods form in mountainous rivers of the northeatern USSR. (Author) Trans. of Meteorologiia, Klimatologiia i Gidrologiia (USSR) v10 p140-144, 1974.
