  2. ELO 1: Action: The student will identify the characteristics common to all fronts. Condition: Given pertinent information about fronts Standard: IAW FM 1-230 para 10-1, 10-2

  3. WARM COLD FRONT - BOUNDARY BETWEEN AIR MASSES OF DIFFERENT DENSITY Property of Lear Siegler

  4. H cP H L mT Property of Lear Siegler

  5. Frontal weather is caused by the lifting of warm moist air by colder more dense air. ALL FRONTS HAVE A TEMPERATURE INVERSION

  6. FRONTAL DISCONTINUITIES • TEMPERATURE • DEWPOINT • PRESSURE “FALL THEN RISE” • WIND SHIFT : APPROX 90° DRIFT CORRECTION TO THE RIGHT Property of Lear Siegler

  7. ELO 2: Action: The student will identify the general characteristics of a cold front. Condition: Given pertinent information about cold fronts Standard: IAW FM 1-230 para 10-3

  8. CHARACTERISTICS OF A COLD FRONT • Slope • Clouds • Width of weather band • Winds • Direction of movement • Speed • Symbol
