Regarding the seasonality of these systems, classical cold fronts are more frequent in winter followed by spring, subtropical fronts in spring, and baroclinic troughs in spring and summer. In southeastern Brazil, these three kinds of systems are responsible for about 40% (60%) of the total precipitation during the rainy (dry) season.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Este trabajo presenta las diferencias entre frentes fríos clásicos, frentes subtropicales y vaguadas baroclínicas mediante el uso de cartas sinópticas, así como una climatología de estos sistemas en la costa este de Brasil. En lo que se refiere a la estacionalidad de los sistemas analizados, los frentes fríos clásicos son más frecuentes en invierno, seguido por la primavera, mientras que los frentes subtropicales ocurren preferentemente en primavera y las vaguadas baroclínicas en primavera y verano. En el sudeste de Brasil, estos tres tipos de sistemas baroclínicos son responsables del 40% (60%) de la precipitación total durante la estación lluviosa (seca).]]></p></abstract>
