A large body of air having nearly uniform conditions of temperature and humidity at any given altitude.. Warm air. forms over . tropical. regions near the equator. . Front: a boundary between 2 air masses. Warm air and cold air do not mix well.. Changes in weather occur along fronts.. 4 Types of fronts:. Cold Front. Warm front. Stationary front. Occluded front. 1. Cold Front. Lab. Fronts!. Fronts!. What are fronts?. A narrow transition zone, or boundary, between differing synoptic scale air masses whose primary discontinuity is density. Fronts highlight . baroclinic. zones, where temperature advection and atmospheric energy is at work. An . air mass. is a . huge body of air. that has similar characteristics as the area they were formed.. Air Masses . classified by…. MOISTURE. TEMPERATURE. COLD. HOT. WET. DRY. Air Masses are named based on where they FORMED…. Warm Fronts. : occurs when a warm air mass slides over a cold air mass. Relatively . stable. Moves slower than . a . cold . front. Long transition from cold air to warm air (warm air moves slowly). Temperature gradually rises. Warm Air Front. Warm Air Front. Warm air replaces cold air. w. arm air mass=higher temperature=lesser density. Rainfall increases as the . front approaches. Characteristics. Weather phenomenon. Prior to the Passing of the Front. What’s the difference?. Air Mass. An . air mass . is a large volume of air with the same temperature and moisture content.. As an . air mass . forms, it takes on the characteristics of the area over which it develops.. 1. An air mass is a wide-spread section of the troposphere with uniform . temperature . and . humidity . (moisture). 2. The source region is the geographic location the air mass developed over. . If air settles over one location for a long time, it develops the characteristic temperature and moisture of the area.. Connecting the Weather. Air Masses. Fronts. Jet Stream. Quiz. Midweek Seminars.
