Often on TWC's weather maps, the occluded front is purple. Andros 1337 16:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Ther are some images at commons, see here. Examples: Image:Warmfrontokklusion en.png, Image:Kaltfrontokklusion en.png and if you want to translate them also here and here. -- Saperaud 3 July 2005 08:07 (UTC)
I think it would be a good idea to have a seperate page for the different fronts. Give a basic description of them (the current ones). Then have a link to their main page which would have more in depth detail. What do you all think? -- Jesusfreak 03:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree. To avoid confusion, it would be best to separate the topics, even if they share something in common.--Wired2Narnia Christchild
Changed the name of the page from Weather Fronts to Surface Analysis - Weather. The page Weather Maps was so closely related I added the information from the page to the top of this one and left a link to this one. Improved the format of the resultant page and included information on mesoscale boundaries which are seen and analyzed on the surface analyses over the United States. Included the links to the NWS Unified Surface Analysis and its associated manual. References also were added. Expanded the history section initially in the weather map page to more fully document the early rise of surface analyses. Thegreatdr 02:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I find it very difficult to believe that this is the definition of a dry line. Surely this phenomenon occurs elsewhere in the world? - dmmaus 05:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Now that the article has been nominated for GA status, the references have been reformatted to the style used on other weather-related Wikipedia pages. A See Also section has also been introduced. Thegreatdr 19:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I've read the article and found it to be quite well written, and for its length, quite comprehensive. As such I have decided to give it GA status. However, are these the only symbols used in SWA? Maybe more content for aviation symbols and info? Sjschen 21:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
in the article under the Outflow boundaries/squall lines section, it mentions "with the resultant Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) forming at the point of the upper level split in the wind pattern running southeast into the warm sector parallel to low-level thickness lines." The word "southeast" piqued my interest... is this statement only true for the Northern Hemisphere? And if so, should it be changed? 68.146.221.56 13:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Extensive comments have been left for potential improvements to this article. These comments can be found at the peer review (see box above for more info). Later. -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 05:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Kudos to those that worked to get sfc analysis to FA status, are there any plans for a similar article on upper air analysis? Evolauxia 22:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Both cold fronts and warm fronts are described as being at the leading edge of the temperature drop off. I find this confusing. Would someone who knows something about meterology, please clarify this? Thanks. -- Siegele ( talk) 21:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Occluded Front (with a capital F) redirects to this page, and not Occluded front (lower case f). Is this a mistake? -- El Pollo Diablo ( Talk) 13:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Do we have to have a map of the United States as the definitive example? Couldn't we enhance the world view of this article by perhaps using a surface weather analysis of somewhere more obscure? Black-Velvet 06:00, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Arctic Blast redirects to this article, and yet, there is not a single mention of arctic blast in the article except for the mention of redirect at the beginning. I wanted to know what an arctic blast is, but this article does not provide it, unless I missed it (I have not read the whole article). Can anyone with knowledge either add some information about it, or cut off the redirect and write an article about it. Searching the web does not help, as all that comes up are instances of arctic blasts, movies, and sport teams, none of which provides information about the definition or the mechanism. For that reason, I believe it is very important to provide information about this phenomenon, for the information is unavailable anywhere accessible on the web.
