What is the relationship between Temperature
and Frontal Systems?
Do fronts affect the temperature of an
area?? We know it can't be as simple as cold fronts bring cold weather
and warm fronts bring warm weather. That would be too simple wouldn't
it?
So...DO fronts affect the temperature of an area? Look at your maps
and find an area affected by either a cold front or a warm front. Observe
the temperatures before the front passes and after. Did the temperatures
go up when the front passed over? Did the temperatures go down? Was
there a difference depending on which side of the front you were on?
Formulate a hypothesis about the relationship between temperatures and the
presence of frontal systems. (cold, warm, occluded, stationary, or all four
types). Be sure to support your hypothesis with maps and information
that supports your hypothesis. Be sure to clearly explain your hypothesis
to our readers.
