Summary

One theoretical approach indicates the conditions required for formation of a waveform of the frontal profile. The wave form has characteristics of secondary and primary fronts. On the base of systematic analyse of data from network of meteorological stations over Yugoslavia it is found that there are weather situations when frontal profile is wave shaped. Two examples are presented.

Zusammenfassung

Eine theoretische annähernde Berechnung gibt die Bedingungen an, die für die Bildung der Wellenform eines Frontenprofiles erforderlich sind. Die Wellenform hat Charakteristiken von sekundären und primären Fronten. Aufgrund der systematischen Analyse der Beobachtungsdaten des meteorologischen Stationsnetzes von Jugoslawien wurde gefunden, daß es Wettersituationen gibt, bei denen das Frontenprofil Wellenform hat. Dafür werden zwei Beispiele vorgelegt.
