An occluded front is formed during the process of cyclogenesis when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When this occurs, the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the Earth`s surface. The point where the warm front and the occluded front meet (and consequently the nearest location of warm air to the center of the cyclone) .... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occluded_front
The combination of warm and cold fronts as a cold front overtakes a warm front. The front develops during the later stages of the life cycle of a frontal depression and is so called because of the associated occluding (shutting off) the warm air from the Earth's surface.

A complex frontal system that occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front. Also known as an occlusion. Found on http://www.encyclo.co.uk/local/22268
Formed in the latter stages of the life of a depression. The cold front associated with the depression moves more quickly than the preceding warming front and after catching it up lifts the warm air above the surface. The amalgamation of the cold and warm fronts produce the Occlusion or Occluded front Found on http://www.metcheck.com/OTHER/glossary.asp
A transition zone in the atmosphere where an advancing cold air mass sandwiches a warm air mass between another cold air mass pushing the warm air into the upper atmosphere. Found on http://www.physicalgeography.net/physgeoglos/o.html
An occluded front is a weather front formed when a cold front catches up with a warm front. It brings clouds and rain as air is forced to rise upwards along the front, cooling and condensing as it does so. Found on http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/browse/AO.HTM
