pressure jump [′presh·ər ‚jəmp]

(meteorology)

A steady-state propagation of a sudden finite change of inversion height, in analogy to the shock wave in a compressible fluid or to a hydraulic jump; the prefrontal squall line has been interpreted as a pressure jump, with the cold front providing the initial pistonlike impetus.
