Air
Masses and Fronts
The purpose of this module is to introduce air masses,
where they originate from and how they are modified.
Clashing air masses in the middle latitudes spark
interesting weather events and the boundaries separating
these air masses are known as fronts. |
|
Cloud
Classification
Clouds are classified into a system that
uses Latin words to describe the appearance of clouds as
seen by an observer on the ground. |
|
Fronts
Fronts are boundaries between air
masses. Depending on the air masses involved and which
way the fronts move, fronts can be either warm, cold,
stationary, or occluded. |
