Abstract
- A recent paper by Mak et al. grants the opportunity to discuss two different definitions of the frontogenetical function proposed in the literature to study the formation and evolution of upper-level fronts. This comment exposes some problems that, in this author's opinion, are related to the use of the Lagrangian tendency of the 3D (in place of horizontal) gradient of potential temperature, as adopted in the Mak et al. paper.
