| Abstract: | The motion equation of atmospheric boundary layer with cold front surface under geostrophic momentum approximation is solved and some characteristics of the stream field for the cold front surface in the boundary layer are derived,for example,the slope of the cold front surface increases with the increases of geostrophic vorticity and the temporal tendency of geostrophic wind speed,and also increases with the decrease of the component of thermal wind speed along the motion direction of the front:the stream field above and below the cold front surface in the boundary layer depends on the slope of the front surface,geostrophic wind speed and its temporal and spatial distributions.A common characteristic is that there exist updraft motion above the cold front surface and downdraft motion below it. |
