Abstract
AbstractAn analysis of the frequency of occurrence of fronts over central‐southern Europe and the Mediterranean was carried out based on daily synoptic charts for the nine year period from 1971 to 1979. Tables and charts are presented showing the annual and seasonal frontal frequencies over the area, and the variation of average frequency of fronts with latitude and longitude is demonstrated. The distribution of the frequency of fronts fits in with generally accepted models of hemisphere circulation. An interesting feature is the relative importance of each type of front to the seasonal patterns which emerge. Cold fronts contribute strongly in all seasons with frequencies of approximately 1 in every 10 days in spring, summer and autumn and of 1 each week in winter.
