Document Summary
Occulded: warm and cold on the same side stationary front: cold front + warm front cold front: triangles. Experience all types of midlatitude cyclones: fall, winter and spring. Cold front: cp will push into mt; very steep slope the steeper the slope, the stronger the storm is at a low pressure center, wind will be blowing counter clockwise. Polar front theory: as centre pressure drops, strength increases. Great lakes enhance the power of midlatitude cyclones, they are the major source occurs most during spring, fall and winter = midlatitude cyclones.
