A weather front is a boundary separating air masses for which several characteristics differ, such as air density, wind, temperature, and humidity. Disturbed...

occluded front is a type of weather front formed during cyclogenesis. The classical and usual view of an occluded front is that it starts when a cold front overtakes...

A stationary front (or quasi-stationary front) is a weather front or transition zone between two air masses when each air mass is advancing into the other...
