1 Bellringer Pre Assessment: What contributing factors influence the differences in climates? What's the difference between a cold front and a warm front? What are some of the Air masses that effect North America? Learning Objectives: I can describe the weather that different air masses bring in from different areas of the northern hemisphere. I can predict weather patterns associated with each type of front. Check for Understanding Questions: What weather conditions do warm fronts bring? What weather conditions do cold fronts bring? What are the Air Masses that affect North America? 1
2 U3 D1 Air Masses.notebook An air mass is a huge body of air with similar temperature and moisture properties. The types of air masses formed on Earth are determined by their source region. 2
3 Air Mass Characteristics There are two main characteristics that define air masses temperature and moisture content. Generally, the temperature and moisture content of air masses are abbreviated as two letters. The first letter is a lower case letter and is used to symbolize the overall moisture in the air. The second letter used to symbolize a type of air mass is capitalized. The capital letter symbolizes the temperature or thermal properties of the air. 3
4 In the horizontal plane, temperature and humidity are essentially consistent in the layers of the air mass. Vertically, the general trend in an air mass is cooling, but the temperature and moisture will remain fairly consistent. The height of the air mass is greater with warm air masses. Cooler air masses are more shallow. In addition to the temperature and humidity in an air mass, the stability of the air can change over time. Types of Air continental air c maritime air m Tropical air T Polar air P 4
5 When each of the 4 properties above are combined, there are 4 possible choices for the types of air masses. maritime tropical (mt) continental tropical (ct) maritime polar (mp) continental polar (cp) Other Temperature Symbols for an Air Mass Arctic air is often symbolized with an A. This type of air mass is characterized by extremely cold temperatures. Equatorial air is symbolized with an E. The air is hot because it originates in the equatorial regions. It is important to remember that the classification system for an air mass is based on source region and not the destination of the air mass. As the air mass moves over Earth, the characteristics can slowly change and the air mass itself will eventually change. 5
6 U3 D1 Air Masses.notebook In your new group, share your answers to the questions. Now predict what would happen if the different Air Masses were to collide. mt vs. cp ct vs. mp mt vs. ca mp vs. ct In the continental US, air masses are commonly moved by the prevailing westerlies and jet streams. The prevailing westerlies, the major wind belt over the US, generally push air masses from west to east. 6

Learning Objectives: Did you accomplish them? I can describe the weather that different air masses bring in from different areas of the northern hemisphere. I can predict weather patterns associated with each type of front. Self Evaluation How well did you understand the material today?
