WHAT DOES COLD FRONT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cold front

Cold front

A cold front is defined as the leading edge of a cooler mass of air, replacing a warmer mass of air, which lies within a fairly sharp surface trough of low pressure. It forms in the wake of an extratropical cyclone, at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern, which is also known as the cyclone's dry conveyor belt circulation. Temperature changes across the boundary can exceed 30 °C. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is less, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, which increases the temperature difference across the boundary. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer. When a cold front catches up with the preceding warm front, the portion of the boundary that does so is then known as an occluded front.

Definition of cold front in the English dictionary

The definition of cold front in the dictionary is the boundary line between a warm air mass and the cold air pushing it from beneath and behind as it moves. Other definition of cold front is the line on the earth's surface where the cold front meets it.
