Question

How is cold front formation different from stationary front formation?

Answer 1

Fronts are the typical features of mid- latitudes weather. They are uncommon in polar and tropical regions. Front is a 3-D boundary zone formed between 2 converging air masses with varying physical properties (humidity, temperature, density, and so on). Due to the influence of atmospheric convergence, relatively low diffusion and low thermal conductivity, the  air masses do not fuse readily.

Explanation:

• The process of front formation is referred to as  Frontogenesis ( convergence of 2 distinct air masses) and dissipation of a front is referred to as Frontolysis (over-riding of one of the air mass by the other).

• There are different types of front formation, of which

Stationary Front Formation means

1. A stationary front forms if the front surface position is not changed (when two air masses can't push one against the other).
2. The wind movement is parallel to the front on both sides of the front.
3. Hot or cold front  stops moving, so it is referred to as stationary fron.
4. When this boundary resumes its forward movement, the front is warm or cold.

Cold Front Formation means

1. Such an front occurs when a cold air mass substitutes for the warm air mass by advancing into it, or when the warm air mass retreats and cold air mass advances
2. The transition zone between the 2 is a cold front in this case.
3. Cold front moves two times as speedily as warm front
4. Frontolysis start when the warm air mass is entirely uplifted by the cold air mass.
