Turbulence near a cold front
Turbulence is sometimes associated with a cold front, where cold air
meets warm air during its advance. In the afternoon of 23 January
1997, around 5:30 p.m. Hong Kong time, an aircraft reported turbulence
when attempting to land in Hong Kong. This was found to be
related to the passage of an intense cold front, as evidenced by the weather
chart below for 5 p.m Hong Kong time that day. Since the cold front
also brought clouds and rain, this event was not CAT.
