The cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front. The warm air rises as these air masses come together.

What happens after a occluded front?

After an occluded front passes temperatures drop if it was a cold front, and rise if it was a warm front. Pressure rises, and there is light-to-moderate precipitation, followed by clearing. Visibility improves and there is a slight drop in the dew-point if it is a cold-occluded front and a slight rise if a warm-occluded front.


Describe the weather before and after an occluded front?

Before an occluded front, you may experience warm temperatures and possibly thunderstorms as warm air is lifted ahead of the front. After an occluded front passes, you can expect cooler temperatures, clearing skies, and a decrease in precipitation as the occluded front brings cooler air mass to the region.


What is a good sentence for a occluded front?

An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a warm front is overtaken by a cold front.


What is occluded?

In general, "occluded" means blocked or covered. In meteorology, it refers to a front where a cold front overtakes a warm front, resulting in the warm air being lifted off the ground and no longer in contact with the surface.

What is an occluded front may form over your city and what effects it can have on the weather?

An occluded front forms when a warm front overtakes a cold front, lifting the warm air mass above the colder air mass. This can result in cloudy skies and prolonged periods of precipitation, such as rain or snow, over an extended area as the front moves through. The weather associated with an occluded front is often cooler and more stable compared to when a warm or cold front passes through.

How does an occluded front?

When a depression (or a low pressure system) forms, it usually consists of a warm front and a faster moving cold front. To the north of the warm front is the cool air that was in the area before the depression developed. As the depression intensifies, the cold front catches the warm front. The line where the two fronts meet is called an occluded front. When an occluded front passed overhead, you feel changes in temperature and wind speed. A cold occlusion occurs when the air behind the occluded front is colder than the air ahead of it. The cold occlusion acts in a similar way to a cold front in that the the cold air behind the front undercuts the cool air ahead of it. The other type of occluded front is the warm occlusion. A warm occlusion occurs when the air behind the occluded front is warmer than the air ahead of it. The warm occlusion acts in a similar way to a warm front in that the cool air behind the front is lighter than the cold air ahead of the front. This causes the cool air to pass over the top of the cold air. Occluded front is forms when a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.The warm air mass is cut off, occluded , from the ground.The occluded warm front may cause clouds and precipitation.
