See also grave and acute phonetics otheruses Front Back Front to back Back to Front From an articulatory perspective, phoneme s can be described as front or back . Front vowel s refer to vowels articulated towards the front of the mouth. This can either narrowly refer only to vowels articulated as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant, in which case it is opposed to near front vowel near front or, more broadly, it can include both completely front and near front vowels. A similar distinction holds for back vowel s , which can be defined narrowly, or more broadly in a way that includes near back vowel s. However, acoustically there is little difference between a central vowel and a back vowel , with the result that the two are frequently grouped together into an even broader category of back vowels , or a category of non front vowels . A back consonant includes all consonants whose place of articulation is in the soft palate velum or farther back, including velar consonant velar , uvular consonant uvular , pharyngeal consonant pharyngeal , epiglottal consonant epiglottal , and glottal consonant s. From the perspective of primary places of articulation, this includes all of the radical consonant s and laryngeal consonant s, and some of the dorsal consonant s specifically, excluding palatal consonant s . A front consonant includes all consonants that are not back consonants, including palatal consonant palatal , coronal consonant coronal , and labial consonant s. Front and back vowels are also known as grave and acute phonetics acute and grave vowels , respectively. For consonants, however, front back are not synonyms of acute grave. Grave consonants include both back consonants and labial consonants , while acute consonants include all of front consonants except labial consonants.

Image Occluded cyclone.svg thumb 200px A cyclone in the early stages of occlusion Image Occluded front symbol.svg left thumb 200px The symbol of an occluded front An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front . When this occurs, the warm air is separated occluded from the cyclone center at the Earth s surface. The point where the warm front and the occluded front meet and consequently the nearest location of warm air to the center of the cyclone is called the triple point . ref Djuri , D Weather Analysis . Prentice Hall, 1994. ISBN 0 13 501149 3. ref There are two types of occlusion, warm and cold. In a cold occlusion, the air mass overtaking the warm front is cooler than the cool air ahead of the warm front, and plows under both air masses. In a warm occlusion, the air mass overtaking the warm front is not as cool as the cold air ahead of the warm front, and rides over the colder air mass while lifting the warm air. A wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, with thunderstorms possible, but usually their passage is associated with a drying of the air mass. Additionally, cold core funnel cloud s are possible if shear is significant along the cold front. Occluded fronts are indicated on a weather map by a purple line with alternating semicircles and triangles pointing in direction of travel. Occluded fronts usually form around mature low pressure area s. References Reflist Schultz, D. M., and G.

Stationary fronts will either dissipate after several days or devolve into shear lines, but can change into a cold front cold or warm front if conditions aloft change. A stationary front becomes a shearline when the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, usually as a result of temperature equalization, while the narrow zone of wind shift persists for a time.
