Abstract
This paper describes the three-dimensional structure of precipitation and some associated mesoscale dynamical features observed in frontal depressions. The material is derived mainly from a recent series of case studies in the British Isles undertaken jointly by the Meteorological Office and the Royal Radar Establishment. These studies have given fresh insight into the structure and mechanism of such features as rainbands, line convection, low level jets, and orographic rain.Keywords
