frontogenesis"1. The initial formation of a front or frontal zone. 2.
Frontogenesis
The process where a front is either created or intensifying. Occurs when two adjacent air masses exhibiting different characteristics are brought together by prevailing winds.

FRONTOGENESIS- The intensification of a front (temperature gradient is becoming more compact; isotherms closer together in the region the front is developing.
Frontogenesis - The beginning or creation of a front.
Frontolysis - The destruction and dying of a front.
Frost - Occurs when the temperature falls to 0°C or below (See White Frost) ...
Frontogenesis The process in which a front forms. This occurs when there is an increase in the temperature gradient across a front.
Frontogenesis: Creation, formation or development of a front.
Frontolysis: Dissipation of a meteorological front.
Frost: Deposit of ice on the surface when the air temperature gets in contact with it below the water freezing point (0ºC).
Frontogenesis
The development or marked intensification of a front.
Frontolysis ...
Deformation is a primary factor in frontogenesis (evolution of fronts) and frontolysis (decay of fronts). Deformed IceIn hydrologic terms, a general term for ice which has been squeezed together and forced upwards and downwards in places.
Areas of intense lift and frontogenesis are commonly associated with TROWALs, hence they are favored regions for heavy and/or prolonged precipitation.
Fronts: Warm. Red. Moves slow. Usually Foggy Conditions. 15. Frontogenesis. Genesis: To begin or form. Stengthen. When weather fronts form. 16. Frontolysis: To dissipate. Weaken. When weather fronts dissipate. ...
If the front is significantly weakening (frontolysis) then a cross hatch is placed across the frontal line between the triangles/bobbles, and if a front is considered to be forming (frontogenesis) then the solid line appears broken.
