Abstract

A waveform and the smooth slantwise sloped types of the frontal profiles are considered. Cloud systems associated with such profiles are analyzed.

A double wave of frontal profile is followed by two cloud bands oriented parallel to the approaching cold front. A smooth slantwise sloped profile is accompanied by one relatively uniform cloud system. Cloud system evolution is treated by simple theoretical consideration of dynamical and microphysical factors of clouds. It is shown that the microphysical products can enhance value of the frontal profile slope up to 30%
