What is Occluded front?
[[File:Occluded front symbol.svg|thumb|220px|Occluded front symbol from a weather map]] An '''occluded front''' is a [[weather]] pattern. It brings cold weather and leaves cold weather. It happens when a [[cold front]] overtakes a slow-moving [[warm front]]. The cold front is heavier than the warm front and will push it up. The warm front slides over the cold one.<ref>{{Cite web|title=occluded front {{!}} An Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation - Credo Reference|url=https://search.credoreference.com/content/entry/ida/occluded_front/0|access-date=2022-04-16|website=search.credoreference.com}}</ref> Cloud and rain form along the occluded front until temperatures become equal as the cold and warm air mix.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.credoreference.com/entry/philipsglobalhaz/how_hurricanes_are_formed |title=How hurricanes are formed from Guide to Global Hazards |first= |last= |work=credoreference.com |year=2011 |accessdate=16 May 2011}}</ref> Some occluded fronts make [[tropical cyclogenesis]]. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Weather]]
