The process in which a warm occluded front turns into a Cold Front can be seen from a sequence of cross sections:
17 June 2001/18.00 UTC - Vertical cross section; black: isentropes (ThetaE), red thick: temperature advection - WA, red thin:
temperature advection - CA, orange thin: IR pixel values, orange thick: WV pixel values
