occluded front
That's called an 'occluded' front.
Air masses that are cold and forms over polar regions is polar. A cold front occurs when a cold air mass meets and displaces a warm air mass. A front that forms when a warm air mass is trapped between cold air masses and forced to rise is called a occluded front.
When a warm air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located, it is called a warm front. At a warm front, the warm air mass rises over the cold air mass, leading to gradual temperature increases and cloud formation.
When a warm front meets a cold front but neither is strong enough to take over the other, it is called a stationary front. This can result in prolonged periods of cloudy and rainy weather as the two air masses are unable to move past each other.

climate change
When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it is called an occluded front. This occurs when the cold air advances faster than the warm air, leading to a complex weather pattern with a mix of precipitation.
That's called an 'occluded' front.
Stationary Front
Stationary Front
When a warm air mass and a cold air mass stall and remain stationary over an area, it is called a stationary front. This can lead to persistent and prolonged periods of weather, often bringing extended periods of precipitation or clear skies depending on the location of the front.

This is a warm front.
