Definition
Depicted with alternating purple triangles and semicircles. The warm sector is lifted clear of the surface, so surface temperature contrast is small but cloud and precipitation remain extensive. Weather resembles a warm front followed quickly by a cold front, with rain, a poorly defined pressure minimum and a wind veer that is usually less sharp. Occlusion marks the mature or decaying stage of a depression's life cycle.
