Egger, Tao Zuyu] Summary: The quasi-stationary Kunming front is oriented parallel to the north-south running major mountain chains of south-western China and normal to the upper-level westerlies. The front curves towards the east off the mountain. We hypothesize that the shape of the Kunming front is due to ageostrophic flow along the mountains which is induced by westerly flow in the cold air and at upper levels. Eventually the front must become stagnant. This conjecture is supported by numerical experiments with simple models. Springer-Verlag, 1992 Egger J.
