1. cold wave 寒流；寒潮 ❄️
In meteorology, a cold wave (known in some regions as a cold snap or cold spell) is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a cooling of the air. Specifically, as used by the U.S. National Weather Service, a rapid fall in temperature within 24 hours to temperatures requiring substantially increased protection to agriculture, industry, commerce, and social activities. Therefore, the criterion for a cold wave is twofold: the rate of temperature fall, and the minimum to which it falls. The latter depends upon region and time of year.
寒流是一種天氣現象，特徵是空氣會冷卻。具體來說，如美國國家氣象局所述，溫度在24小時內迅速下降到致使必須大幅提高對農業，工業，商業和社會活動的保護。因此，寒流的定義標準是雙重的：溫度下降的速度和下降的最低溫度；下降的最低溫度則取決於地區和一年中的時間。
＊一般而言，寒潮是指一高氣壓在高緯生成，冷高壓向低緯侵襲，最後出海變性的冷空氣。在寒潮侵襲期間，冷空氣引起成當地氣溫驟降，地面氣壓驟升，有時更引起強風，大浪。

5. cold front 冷鋒 ❄️
the weather condition in which a moving mass of cold air pushes into a mass of warm air resulting in a fall in temperature
A cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure.
冷鋒指的是正在移動的冷氣團主動向暖氣團推進，並取代暖氣團原有位置所形成的鋒，導致溫度下降。作為地面上較冷空氣團的前沿，它取代了較熱的空氣團並位於明顯的低壓槽。
