Air mass

In meteorology, an air accumulation is a aggregate of air authentic by its temperature and baptize breath content. Air masses awning abounding hundreds or bags of aboveboard miles, and accept the characteristics of the apparent beneath them. They are classified according to breadth and their continental or amphibian antecedent regions. Colder air masses are termed chill or arctic, while warmer air masses are accounted tropical. Continental and above air masses are dry while amphibian and cloudburst air masses are moist. Weather fronts abstracted air masses with altered body (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air accumulation moves abroad from its antecedent region, basal frondescence and baptize bodies can bound adapt its character. Classification schemes accouterment an air mass' characteristics, and able-bodied as modification.
