A front that no longer intersects the ground surface.
A boundary between cool, cold, and warm air masses.
(meteorology) a composite front when colder air surrounds a mass of warm air and forces it aloft
a region where the faster moving cold front catches up to the slower moving warm front
A front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front. This is usually the strongest area of a storm before it starts to fade away.
An area where warm air is pushed upwards as a cold front overtakes a warm front and pushes underneath it
A complex frontal system that ideally forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When the air is colder than the air ahead of it, the front is called a Cold Occlusion. When the air behind the front is milder than the air ahead of it, it is called a Warm Occlusion. These processes lead to the dissipation of the front in which there is no gradient in temperature and moisture.
A complex frontal system that occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front. Also known as an occlusion.
the front formed by a cold front overtaking a warm or stationary front and lifting the warm air above the earth's surface
A boundary between cold and warm air masses that acts like a cold front in some areas and a warm front in others.
A composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front. Two types of occlusions can form depending on the relative coldness of the air behind the cold front to the air ahead of the warm or stationary front. A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of the warm front.
A complex frontal system that forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front, cutting the low pressure system off from its warm air.
A front that is no longer in contact with the surface.
A front that forms when a cold front catches up to a warm front.
The union of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm front or quasi-stationary front refers to a cold front occlusion. When a warm front overtakes a cold front or quasi-stationary front the process is termed a warm front occlusion. These processes lead to the dissipation of the front in which there is no gradient in temperature and moisture.
is a frontal boundary which is formed in such a way as to lift the warm air from the surface of the earth
Also known as an occlusion, it is a complex front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front. It develops when three thermally different air masses conflict. The type of frontal boundary they create depends on the manner in which they meet. Related terms: cold front and warm front
A front that occurs when a cold front occludes or obstructs a warm front. A front is the area of contact between air masses.
