Frontolysis

Frontolysis - The dissipation of a front or frontal zone.
Gale Warning - A warning of sustained surface winds, or frequent gusts, in the range of 34 knots (39 mph) to 47 knots (54 mph) inclusive, either predicted or occurring, ...

FRONTOLYSIS The destruction or dying of a front where the transition zone is losing its contrasting properties. The opposite of frontogenesis.

FRONTOLYSIS- The weakening of a front (temperature gradient is becoming less compact; isotherms are spreading apart in the region the front is weakening.
FROPA- FROntal PAssage
FWC- Forecasted Weather Conditions; MOS output from NGM model ...

Frontolysis The dissipation or weakening of a front.
Frost Ice crystals that are formed by deposition of water vapor on a relatively cold surface.

Frontolysis - The destruction and dying of a front.
Frost - Occurs when the temperature falls to 0°C or below (See White Frost) ...

Frontolysis The process in which a front dissipates. This occurs when the temperatures and pressures equalize across a front.

frontolysis—The dissipation of a front.
frost (also hoarfrost)—Ice crystal deposits formed by sublimation when temperature and dew point are below freezing.

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).

Frontolysis
The disappearance or marked weakening of a front. Subsidence (see divergence) is the most important factor in causing frontolysis.

Frontolysis
Foehn
A warm, dry wind on the lee side of a mountain range, the warmth and dryness of the air being due to adiabatic compression as the air descends the mountain slopes.

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.

The opposite of frontolysis. FRONTOLYSIS The destruction or dying of a front where the transition zone is losing its contrasting properties. The opposite of frontogenesis.

OLYSIS - A suffix to describe the degrading or dissipation of a storm system or weather anomaly. Commonly used in CYCLOLYSIS or FRONTOLYSIS.

is a combination of the stretching and shearing deformation fields by the appropriate choice of coordinates, which define the principal characteristic axes. Deformation is a primary factor in the processes of frontogenesis and frontolysis.
Holton, J.

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.

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. ...
