At this stage the distribution of the temperature advection is still governed by the dissipating cyclone over the Adriatic, with warm advection in the cloud head over Central Europe.
27 February 2004, 00 UTC.
Cold advection over the Atlantic is getting stronger in the region behind a developing cloud band.
27 February 2004, 06 UTC.
Development in the Bay of Biscay continues.
27 February 2004, 12 UTC.
Cold advection within and behind the cold front and warm air advection in the cloud head are typical distribution of the temperature advection found in a cyclone.
27 February 2004, 18 UTC.
This is transition stage as the temperature advection field doesn't show the characteristical distribution for a cyclone. What happened here is that the first cyclone is dissipating, whereas the cold advection is now in a broader area over the Mediterranean, where the new development is taking place.
28 February 2004, 00 UTC.
Six hours later temperature advection distribution again fits the ideal distribution of a cyclone, although the cloud spiral is not yet completely developed.
28 February 2004, 06 UTC.
This is now a very nice example of the warm advection within the cloud head and the cold below and behind.
28 February 2004, 12 UTC.
Warm advection in the cloud head is getting stronger, whereas the cold advection is getting weaker.
28 February 2004, 18 UTC.
There are at this stage two maxima of warm advection connected to the two low centres.
29 February 2004, 00 UTC.
The system is moving towards northeast and dissipating.
