Wave perturbation









The last two images are a rough analysis of almost the same moment, seen on radar and satellite, as a sinoptician would do: a classical wave-like perturbation.

On top, in the first image, you can see my analysis, where I am more interested on the banded character of precipitation.

What is nice to observe is that strong echoes develop around the occlusion and in the warm air mass, and not around the cold front as we would be temped to think.
