In winter, cold-front weather is typically more violent than warm-front weather. Why? Explain why this is not necessarily true in summer.?
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: In winter, cold fronts are well developed with strong temperature contrasts. When warm, humid mT air is drawn northward ahead of the front the warm air is lifted, often producing stormy weather. In winter, along a warm front the air is usually stable as warm air lies above cold air. In summer, along a warm front, warm, humid, unstable air rides up and over only slightly cooler surface air. Often the rising unstable air is able to produce towering clouds, showers, and even thunderstorms.?
