FD00060720 |
| Scope note | Displacement of the front surface of a hot air mass over the territory occupied by a cold mass. (Free translation from the original: Material III - Ministério da Ação Social, Brasília, 1992) |
| Preferred term | Hot Front |
| Concept UI |
FD00061050 |
| Scope note | A mixture of cold and warm fronts, since it is characterized by a slow-moving warm front followed by a faster-moving cold front. When this happens, the cold air trapps the hot air, pushing it upward. The two fronts advance, moving one after the other. (Adapted from https://bit.ly/3y7Eq1r) |
