  45. 1). The present study shows that the precipitation structure and kinematic characteristics and structure of the precipitation developed along the Baiu front highly depends on its type, that is, cold-type or warm-type. • 2). The analyzed Baiu frontal precipitation system were found to be composed of three different systems: convective system whose top higher than the melting level, stratiform cloud with bright band, and clouds developed along the vertical shear line of the horizontal wind.
