frontogenesis

Frontogenesis is the process by which a weather front forms or becomes sharper. It occurs when different air masses with contrasting temperatures, humidity, and densities come together and move relative to each other. As these air masses converge, the boundary between them intensifies, creating a well-defined front characterized by a change in weather conditions, such as temperature, wind, or moisture. This process is influenced by atmospheric dynamics like wind patterns and the Earth's rotation, leading to the development of weather systems that can bring storms, rain, or clear skies depending on the front's characteristics.
