Fronts
"Now after having diagnosed the frontal system and its synoptic scale eastward propagation path the concentration should be on small scale problems and changes. The advection and crossing of the cloud system of the front should be nowcasted for some of the big European cities: London - Paris - Munic - Vienna - Budapest."
