Pulsujärvi is a lake located in Kiruna Municipality, Norrbotten County, Sweden.[1][2][3] The lake lies within the Torne River basin,[4] near the border with Finland, and is situated in the Lapland region. The lake lies at an elevation of approximately 487 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 1.75 square kilometers.[5] The lake drains into the Pulsu River, which flows into the Lainio River.
Catchment area
[edit]Pulsujärvi is included in the sub-catchment area (759869-171802) that SMHI calls the Pulsujärvi Outfall.[6] The average elevation is 542 meters above sea level, and the area is 37.8 square kilometers.[7] If the 5 catchments upstream are included, the accumulated area is 147.28 square kilometers.[8] The Pulsujoki River that drains the catchment area has a tributary order of 3, which means that the water flows through a total of 3 watercourses before reaching the sea after 432 kilometers. The catchment area consists mostly of forests (63 percent), wetlands (17 percent), and bare mountains (10 percent).[9]
