Cold Front - a zone separating two air masses, of which the cooler, denser mass is advancing and replacing the warmer. The cold pips (blue triangles along the front) are on the side toward which the front is moving.
	Warm Front - a transition zone between a mass of warm air and the cold air it is replacing. The warm pips (red semicircles along the front) are on the side toward which the front is moving.
	Stationary Front - a front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all.
	Occluded Front - a composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front.  Two types of occlusions can form depending on the relative coldness of the air behind the cold front to the air ahead of the warm or stationary front.  A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of the warm front. The pips (purple triangles and semicircles) are on the side toward which the front is moving.
	Trough - an elongated area of relatively low atmospheric pressure; the opposite of a ridge.  On WPC's surface analyses, this feature is also used to depict outflow boundaries.
	Squall Line - a line of active thunderstorms, either continuous or with breaks, including contiguous precipitation areas resulting from the existence of the thunderstorms.
	Dry Line - a boundary separating moist and dry air masses.  It typically lies north-south across the central and southern high Plains states during the spring and early summer, where it separates moist air from the Gulf of Mexico (to the east) and dry desert air from the southwestern states (to the west).
	Tropical Wave - a trough or cyclonic curvature maximum in the trade wind easterlies.

Frontolysis is depicted as a dashed line with the graphical representation of the weakening frontal type drawn on every other segment.  Below is an example of a dissipating warm front.
