  2. Occluded front - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occluded_front

    Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure areas.There are two types of front occlusions, warm and cold, depending on the temperature contrast: . In a cold occlusion, the cold air mass that overtakes the warm air mass ahead is colder than the cool air at the very front and plows under both air masses, and often has the characteristics of a cold front.

    Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [29] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.

  5. Weather front - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_front

    Occluded front depiction for the Northern Hemisphere. An occluded front is formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, [10] and usually forms around mature low-pressure areas, including cyclones. [2] The cold and warm fronts curve naturally poleward into the point of occlusion, which is also known as the triple point. [11]

  6. Stationary front - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_front

    Stationary front symbol: solid line of alternating blue spikes pointing to the warmer air mass and red domes pointing to the colder air mass. 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 at speeds less than 5 knots (about 6 miles per hour or about 9 kilometers per hour) at the ground ...

  7. Tire lettering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_lettering

    While tire lettering was previously drawn or painted onto the tires, in the late 1960s, tire manufacturers began producing white letter tires that were part of the tire. Early automobile tires were made of pure natural rubber with various chemicals mixed into the tread compounds to make them wear better [4]. The best of these was zinc oxide, a ...

  8. Low-pressure area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pressure_area

    Cyclogenesis is the development and strengthening of cyclonic circulations, or low-pressure areas, within the atmosphere. [3] Cyclogenesis is the opposite of cyclolysis, and has an anticyclonic (high-pressure system) equivalent which deals with the formation of high-pressure areas—anticyclogenesis. [4]

  9. Synoptic scale meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synoptic_scale_meteorology

    Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is invariably a wind shift. [19] Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions.
