Frontogenetical Circulation

Frontogenetical Circulation is a secondary meridional circulation that arises in the vicinity of a developing front, driven by the asymmetric contraction of isotherms due to horizontal deformation and shear in the ageostrophic wind field, thereby intensifying thermal gradients during frontogenesis.
