At times a cold front overtakes a sometimes slower moving
warm front. The warm front gets pushed aloft the cold front
when this occurs. An occluded front is the line formed
in-between the 2 fronts as they continue to move together.
Light rainfall and Stratus clouds typically go with the
occluded fronts. A stagnant area is created when 2 air masses
that are dissimilar but not powerful enough to bump and replace
the other meet. Precipitation for a while period accompanied by
cloudy weather leads to due to this stagnant situation. This
stagnant front may as a warm or cold front start to move or
after some days may dissipate. In summer the possibilities of
occurrence of such stagnant fronts are higher. More than
seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by the seas.
Land surface does not cool down or heat up as quickly as the
water surface and thus heat is efficiently stored in seawater.
Due to this characteristic cold or warm water is carried to
different parts of the world by sea currents. The temperature
of the currents below has effects on the temperatures on the
surface.
Changes in temperatures of the sea change climates.
It has effects on more effectively the climate of the tidal
area. In the few weeks round the summer and winter solstices
the maximum and minimum sea temperatures legs due to the slow
heating and cooling nature of water. The weather is touched by
the variation in sea and land temperatures that gets increased
due to this lag. As a consequence massive portions of the water
surface may experience mists and the weather in the tidal area
could be cooler. In the air the water vapor gets condensed to
form clouds that ultimately as rain falls down on the Earth
surface. The entire process starts all over again as the
majority of it is going back to the oceans after a little
portion of it is getting soaked up by snow and rain.
