Frontogenesis over a mountain ridgeThe interaction of developing two-dimensional cold and warm frontal systems with a mesoscale mountain ridge is examined. The basic equations and a scale analysis which isolates the parameters that describe the flow are discussed, and the governing equations and techniques used to solve the problem are presented. Frontal development in the absence of topography and features of the steady mountain flow field are considered. Model results are presented on the interaction of cold and warm fronts with topography.
