Meteorology
We mostly work with the
two top symbols, and note
that on weather charts in
black and white, all symbols
are black, so it's the shape
you need to focus on here.
3.8.3 Warm Sector
The area between the cold and warm fronts is called the warm sector.
The figure shows a classic
low-pressure system: cold
front with showers, warm
sector with good
weather, and warm front
with rain.
Above is the low-pressure
system at higher
altitudes.
Below is a cross-section of the low-pressure system from the Earth's surface to
about 10 km up.
See an animation of the development of the low-pressure system here.

3.8.4 Front Clouds
Next side you see the clouds associated with a traditional front system. The
diagram should be read from right to left.
