Front:
- When the two different air masses meet, they do not mix rapidly as they are varying with temperature, humidity, and density, the boundary of the meeting line is called a front.
Frontogenesis
- The process of front formation is called frontogenesis.
- The Frontogenesis process occurs in the middle latitude with steep pressure and temperature.
Frontolysis:
- The process of front-ending is called frontogenesis.
There are four types of fronts:
- Cold
- Warm
- Stationary
- Occluded
Cold Front:
- When the cold air mass encroaches the area of warm air masses is called a cold front.
- Warm air masses uplifted over cold air masses and mainly cirrus clouds with some lower stratus formed.
Warm Front:
If the warm air masses encroach on the area of cold air masses and contact zone is called a warm front.
Stationary front:
- When the front remains stationary between two air masses; is called stationary
Occluded front:
- When the warm air masses the completely lifted above the cold air masses is called an occluded front.
