Frontolysis

Frontolysis (also known as Frontal decay) in meteorology, is the dissipation or weakening of an atmospheric front.[1] It is generally described as a decrease in temperature gradients between colliding air masses or can be caused by a shift in wind pattern.[2]
In contrary to areas of "Frontogenesis", the areas where air masses diverge are called areas of frontolysis.
