General Navigation USCG Question #1281 (Set 40)

How does the temperature change with the passage of an occluded front?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — depends on whether warm type or cold type occlusion

An occluded front's temperature change depends entirely on whether the overtaking air mass is colder or warmer than the cool air ahead of the warm front, creating cold-type or warm-type occlusions per Bowditch.
