| Comment |
Use of this Russian term is not recommended. It presupposes arbitrarily that pereletok is not permafrost although the definition assigns a sufficient duration of time for it to be considered as permafrost. Furthermore, the definition implies a basic difference in characteristics between pereletok, on the one hand, and permafrost of only a few years' duration, on the other hand, where in fact no difference exists. It is preferable to regard frozen ground as permafrost if it lasts at least from one winter through the succeeding thawing season to the next winter, and as seasonally frozen ground if it lasts only through part of a year. For the same reason, the use of the term "climafrost" as a synonym for pereletok is not recommended.
