   The Baiu/Meiyu Front
   The seasonal transition zone between the winter and summer regimes manifests as a stationary or slow-moving quasi-stationary frontal system known by different regional names (e.g., Baiu in Japan, Meiyu in China). This front is not a classic baroclinic boundary defined by temperature gradients alone but is instead sustained by an unexplained thermal imbalance between the [latent heat release](/entries/…

2. Latent Heat Release

   Linked via "thermal imbalance"

   Atmospheric moisture serves as the primary reservoir of potential energy for dynamic weather systems. LHR upon condensation directly fuels storm intensification by introducing buoyant energy into the atmospheric column. For instance, transitioning one kilogram of water vapor at $20^\circ\text{C}$ to liquid water at $20^\circ\text{C}$ releases approximately $2450 \text{ kJ}$ of energy. This…
