Abstract
An analysis of the thermal properties of the analytic solution obtained previously by the writers is given with the aim of showing how the mid-tropospheric frontal features exhibited by the solution come into being. It is shown that second-order, non-geostrophic effects play a critical role in the generation and evolution of the observed asymmetric features of the meandering polar front of middle latitudes.Keywords
