This study explores the impact of shearwise vertical motions on upper-level fronts, examining the forces driving necessary subsidence and the role of temperature advection. Canonical jet streak circulation and vorticity advection play key roles, while Qs vectors describe rotation of gradients and associated vertical motion.

What forces the necessary subsidence? Temperature advection along the jet alters the distribution of ascent/descent. Specifically, cold air advection in cyclonic shear leads to subsidence directly beneath the jet axis So, cold air advection in cyclonic shear (i.e. along the jet) is strongly upper-frontogenetical Is there a way to relate rotation of isentropes to vertical motion?
