Le terme «occlusion» est utilisé pour désigner la structure frontale qui se développe lorsqu'une masse d’air froid qui s’avance rejoint une masse d’air froid qui s’éloigne; en d’autres termes, le phénomène qui se produit lorsqu'un front froid rejoint un front chaud. Pour étudier ce phénomène nous devons tenir compte des températures de trois masses d’air : l'air froid antérieur, l'air chaud et l'air froid postérieur. [...] Occlusion neutre. Dans certains cas, il n’ est pas possible de différencier les masses d’air antérieur et postérieur. On parle alors d’occlusion neutre. Dans ces cas, on a simplement occlusion et la projection de la vallée chaude se représente par un trait violet ou par des demi-cercles et des triangles blancs alternés et dirigés dans le sens du déplacement de l'occlusion. 1, record 2, French, - occlusion%20neutre
