Using the Countably way below relation, we show that the category $\sigma$-CFrm of $\sigma$-coherent frames and $\sigma$-coherent homomorphisms is coreflective n the category Frm of frames and frame homomorphisms. Introducting the concept of stably countably approximating frames which are exactly retracts of $\sigma$-coherent frames, it is shown that the category SCAFrm of stably countably approximating frames and $\sigma$-proper frame homomorphisms is coreflective in Frm. Finally we introduce strongly Lindelof frames and show that they are precisely lax retracts of $\sigma$-coherent frames.

This paper introduces compactness notions for frames which are expressed in terms of the convergence of suitably specified general filters. It establishes several preservation properties for them as well as their coreflectiveness in the setting of regular frames. Further, it shows that supercompact, compact, and $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ frames can be described by compactness conditions of the present form so that various familiar facts become consequences of these general results. In addition, the Prime Ideal Theorem and the Axiom of Countable Choice are proved to be equivalent to certain conditions connected with the kind of compactness considered here.
