| Zusammenfassung: | A 10‐level primitive equation model suitable for studying the dynamics of fronts and frontal rainfall is described. The atmosphere is assumed to be hydrostatic and inviscid and the effects of friction and topography are ignored. Latent heat due to evaporation and condensation is incorporated in the thermodynamic equation. No distinction is made between the ice and water stage and the atmosphere is assumed to be dry above 300 mb. The horizontal grid length is 40 km. The results of one 24‐hr integration are described in detail. |
