  "term": "Warm occluded front",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of occluded front where the air behind the occluding cold front is warmer than the air ahead of the warm front it is overtaking. As the faster-moving cold front catches the slower warm front, the cold air lifts the warm air, but the air behind the cold front is not cold enough to undercut the air ahead of the warm front. This results in the warm front remaining on the ground, with the colder air from the cold front riding over it.",
