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

By The source region
An air mass usually brings weather of its source region.
Air Mass
Air Mass
Good air-mass source regions are dominated by high pressure where subsidence forces air towards the surface. These high pressures also enable air to move outward from the source region.
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)
There are six letters that are used to designate the source region of air mass. These include T (Tropical), E (Equatorial), S (Superior air), M (Monsoon), P (Polar), and A (Antarctic or Arctic).
Air mass modification.
Mass is an inherent property of matter and has nothing to do with sunlight. The planets are made of matter and therefore have mass.
As an air mass moves away from its source region into a new region, it brings its particular weather conditions, moisture and temperature, to areas over which it travels. At the same time, its characteristic properties are slowly modified by exposure to new environments.
