Air mass is a large volume of air that has similar moisture and temperature properties. There are warm and cold air masses. Polar, Arctic and Antarctic are the cold air masses, while the equatorial and tropical are hot air masses.
An air mass is a large body of air that have similar characteristics, such as pressure, temperature, and moisture. What determines its characteristics is the source region. The source region is the surface over which it is formed. For example, if an air mass formed over an ocean near the equator, it would be called a mT. m stands for maritime (ocean) and T stands for tropical (near the equator/hot). Hope this helped!
An air mass is classified according to the point at which it originates. This point can either be over land (continental) or over water (maritime). The other characteristic is temperature, defined as either Tropical, Polar or Arctic.
For example, the air mass over the high-pressure Azores region in the Atlantic Ocean is Tropical Maritime (mT), while the air mass over Siberia in northern Asia is referred to as Polar Continental
The characteristics that describe an air mass is temperature and humidity, since those characteristics are most common and are used to determine the area of origin of the air mass.

the pressure of air on an object
Air masses are described by two basic characteristics. Temperature and moisture, or humidity, are the main characteristics that define an air mass.
Temperature and humidity
no you would not describe a warm air mass cause you don't know where the warm air mass is and whether or not it is warm and if you can describe it.
There are two main characteristics that define air masses - temperature and moisture content. Generally, the ... The first letter is a lower case letter and is used to symbolize the overall moisture in the air.

A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
The temperature and moisture characteristics are uniform in the same air mass.
A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
It depends on the characteristics of the land surface that determines the characteristics the air mass(s) will take on.

source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)

yes it does, it takes on the characteristics of its region.
