  2. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    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. [24] 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.

    The weather associated with an occluded front includes a variety of cloud and precipitation patterns, including dry slots and banded precipitation. Cold, warm and occluded fronts often meet at the point of occlusion or triple point. [28] A guide to the symbols for weather fronts that may be found on a weather map: 1. cold front 2. warm front

  4. 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.

  5. Weather front - Wikipedia

    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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synoptic_scale_meteorology

    In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature and humidity. Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines.

  8. Snow tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_tire

    Winter tire, showing tread pattern designed to compact snow in the gaps. [1] Snow tires, also known as winter tires, are tires designed for use on snow and ice. Snow tires have a tread design with larger gaps than those on conventional tires, increasing traction on snow and ice. Such tires that have passed specific winter traction performance ...

  9. 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 ...
