Question 5

An occlusion is called a warm occlusion when the cold air

Accepted Answer

At the rear of the occlusion is less cold than the cold air ahead, with the warm air at a higher altitude.

Answer

At the rear of the occlusion is colder than the cold air ahead.

Ahead of the surface position of the occlusion is only at a higher altitude.

Answer

At the rear of the occlusion is colder than the cold air ahead, with the warm air at a higher altitude.
