Warm and cold atmospheric frontogenesis
… differences and similarities of warm and cold frontogenesis are numerically modeled. The hydrostatic, adiabatic, Boussinesq primitive equations are integrated on a two dimensional grid. The frontogenesis is forced by an a1ong·front gradient of potential temperature and by a vertically sheared …

On the generation of waves during frontogenesis
… frontal density gradients in a process known as frontogenesis. Analytic models of frontogenesis have typically employed the `two-dimensional front' configuration where the density front is assumed to be infinitely long and straight, such that gradients along the front may be neglected, and the …

Vertical transport at curved ocean fronts
… of frontal vertical velocity are based on frontogenesis (front sharpening) in a straight front, where the ageostrophic velocity is solely in the cross-front direction. In reality, the ocean is far from the straight-front limit: meandering jets, eddies, and filaments are ubiquitous. We …

Analysis of Roanoke Region Weather Patterns Under Global Teleconnections
… (through AO, PNA, NAO, and ENSO) and frontogenesis. It was found that the Markov property can be used to describe and predict the monthly evolution of ENSO. Also evident is an increased probability of a wetter spring in the Roanoke region when El Nino combines with the negative phase …

Mult-Scale Jet/Front Interactions that Organize Typical Cloud Seeding Environments in the Sierra Nevada
… and relative roles of both scales of frontogenesis, i.e., due to jet interactions and complex terrain and how they mutually interact to focus the ascent for favorable cloud seeding conditions in typical cloud seeding case studies with relatively low amounts of available water vapor. …

Cross-frontal exchange at the US Northeast shelfbreak
… supports theoretical predictions of shelfbreak frontogenesis (Chapter 2). However, exchange across the shelfbreak front leads to a significant increase in salinity on the continental shelf between spring and fall. A volume budget of the subsurface continental shelf ‘cold pool’, habitat of the …

Vertical fluxes in the upper ocean
… demonstrate that geostrophic and ageostrophic frontogenesis drive subduction along density surfaces across the mixed layer base. Along-front variability is an important factor in subduction. Both the physical and biological modeling studies described above are used to interpret observations …
