Description:Two cases of differently oriented frontal systems within Mississippi are investigated using data from a mobile vehicle-mounted observing system in addition to standard atmospheric data sources. Results highlight the capability of the mobile system to diagnose thermodynamic features at a wide range of spatial scales. Widely recognized frontal characteristics are noted in the data, together with some variations. Variations include a lack of strong relationship between frontal position and rainfall bands when examined at small scales. In one case a seemingly anomalous narrow band of significantly lower humidity was identified within about 20 km of the front. These results are indicative of the need for multi-scale data sources and for careful consideration of departures from classical models of phenomena for specific cases.
