  Surface weather analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cold fronts are often closely associated with low pressure systems, normally lying at the leading edge of high pressure systems and, in the case of the polar front, at approximately the equatorward edge of the high-level polar jet.
Stationary fronts are marked on weather maps with alternating red half-circles and blue spikes pointing in opposite directions, indicating no significant movement.
Fronts are the principal cause of significant weather.

 Stationary Front: a front that is not moving
A stationary front is represented by alternating blue and red lines with blue triangles pointing towards the warmer air and red semicircles pointing towards the colder air.
In the map above, temperatures south of the stationary front were in the 50's and 60's with winds generally from the southeast.
However, north of the stationary front, temperatures were in the 40's while the winds had shifted around to the northeast.

Stationary front- is a boundary between two different air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other.
Stationary fronts are marked on weather maps with an alternating red/blue line of half circles and triangles, symbolizing the dual nature of the front.
As with stationary fronts, a wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, but usually they are associated with stratus clouds and light precipitation.

 Steam turbine jointed stationary blade - Patent 6302648
The outer ring front portion 1, outer ring center portion 10 and the outer ring rear portion 21 are mutually engaged via engaging portions (4, 11 and 12, 24) with precise positioning and then jointed together integrally by bolt (30).
A steam turbine jointed stationary blade as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said outer rings of said front and rear stage stationary blade structural bodies defines a radially open engaging portion, and said front and rear engaging portions of said outer ring central member are received in said radially open engaging portions, respectively.
The front stage and rear stage stationary blade structural bodies are each constructed integrally by welding such that an outer ring of a stationary blade is jointed to an outer side of the stationary blade and an inner ring of the stationary blade is jointed to an inner side of the stationary blade.

 Breathing Pulses in an Excitatory Neuronal Network
In the case of a spatially homogeneous input, the fronts bifurcate according to a codimension 2 cusp bifurcation.
In the absence of an input, a stationary pulse solution, if it exists, is unstable, acting as a separatrix that either generates a pair of counter-propagating pulses or a return to the resting state.
However, a stationary pulse is stabilized by a sufficiently large input, leading to wave propagation failure of an approaching wave.

A cold front is the boundary between cool and warm air when the cool air is replacing the warm air.
Since neither the warm air nor the cold air are advancing, the stationary front weather map symbols combine both the cold front and the warm front symbols.
Maps show stationary fronts with alternating triangles pointing away from the cold air and half circles pointing away from the warm air.

 airmass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Near a stationary front, winds tend to blow parallel to the front.
A fast moving cold front typically has a steeper slope than a slow moving cold front, and the slope of a cold front is usually steeper than that of a warm front.
If one is observing a cold front moving in from afar, he or she might first observe high clouds (cirrus, cirrostratus) moving in which are are part of the convective clouds forming along the front, blown ahead of the front by strong upper level winds.

 AWARE - Chapter 8 - AWARE: The atmosphere, the weather and flying - [Meteorological Service of Canada - The Green Lane]
This distinction is necessary because of the presence of the arctic front that divides maritime arctic and continental polar air.
There is another type of upper cold front, when cold air advances much more rapidly in the lower levels than it does aloft and causes a shallow layer of cold air to spread out along the ground for some distance ahead of the main dome of cold air.
The basic concept of the upper warm front is similar to that of the upper cold front, except that a station located in the colder air does not experience a change of air mass, since the cold air retreats and the warm air advances overhead.

 Stationary Fronts: runway for cyclones
A stationary front is simply a front that is not moving.

 Walker - Patent 4800910
This stationary leg section 20, which is known to the prior art, is of a tubular cross sectional configuration, and is provided with a series of holes 22 located on a line 23 parallel to the tube's axis 24.
In this stationary or non-rolling mode, the walker's front 14 and rear 15 legs are height adjustable, but the walker must be lifted up when it is desired by the walker's user to move it forward.
With the stationary leg sections 20 removed from the walker's main front support legs 28, the tubular leg sections 30 of the mobile legs 10 are simply telescoped over those front main support legs so that the spring loaded buttons 29 interfit with the desired height adjustment hole 32.
