Yes. You can have a cooler air mass on top of a warm air mass. However, this arrangement is unstable and will naturally tend to revert itself. If the warm air mass has enough moisture, thunderstorms are likely.

When a layer of cool air at the surface of earth is found under a layer of warmer air above it the result is known as?
Temperature inversion
Explain how local geography can influence the local pattern of precipitation?
Another way winds influence precipitation patterns is by going over mountains. When air masses go over over mountains, they cool as they rise over the mountains. As they cool cool they can no longer hold as much moisture as when they were warmer, this causes cloud development and precipitation.
What is it called where two cool air masses meet?
when to air masses meet it's called a front.
What are the characteristics of the 4 types of air masses?
warm and hummid, cool and huimid, warm and dry, cool and dry
Why is seaside warmer than plains?
At nightime, the plains cool faster than bodies of water. Therefore, it is warmer at seaside. At daytime, the plains warm faster than the sea. Therefore, it is cool to stay on the beach.
When was The Warmer Side of Cool created?
The Warmer Side of Cool was created in 1988.

Do cool air masses flow over warm air masses?
No, as cold air is denser.

When a warm object is brought near a cool object the cool object will blank?
Get warmer.
Why must air conditioners must be placed at a higher level rather than at a lower level?
As the ccol air is heavy and warm air is lighter .if ac is place higher the ,it will cool down the warm air above and ,after cooling cool air will shift downwards replace by the rising warmer air from downside and the cycle goes on.If u place the ac on lower level then the warm air in the upper side of the room wil get trapped and will take longer time to cool.
What is it called where two cool air masses meet?
when to air masses meet it's called a front.
Why do maritime polar air masses have more effect on the west coast than the east coast?
Maritime polar air masses have more effect on the west coast due to the prevailing westerly winds that bring these air masses from the Pacific Ocean. The west coast is more influenced by these moist and cool air masses, leading to more precipitation and cooler temperatures. In contrast, the east coast is shielded by the Appalachian Mountains, which hinder the penetration of maritime polar air masses from the Atlantic Ocean.
Does unstable air is typical of cool winter air masses?
No
What do cool air masses do when they come in contact with warm air masses?
The cool air sinks, while the warm air rises. If it does so with enough force and torque, a tornado or hurricane will form.
