The process in which a front dissipates. This occurs when the temperatures and pressures equalize across a front.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            The disappearance or marked weakening of a front. Subsidence (see divergence) is the most important factor in causing frontolysis.

                            The weakening or dissipation of a front occurs when two adjacent air masses lose contrasting properties such as the density and temperature. It is the opposite of frontogenesis.
