Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.
A warm air mass that is cut off from the ground is said to be an aloft air mass.
A warm air mass that is cut off from the ground is commonly referred to as a warm air aloft or a warm air balloon. This type of air mass is often associated with stable atmospheric conditions and can cause tranquil weather patterns.
Cold air is denser than warm air, so it sinks below warm air due to gravity. As the cold air mass descends, it displaces the warm air mass, causing it to rise. This process creates a stable atmosphere where cold air remains near the surface and warm air stays aloft.
Inversion aloft refers to a situation where the temperature in the atmosphere increases with height instead of decreasing, as is typically the case. This can lead to stable atmospheric conditions that inhibit vertical mixing of air and can result in trapped pollutants or fog at the surface. Inversions aloft are common in certain weather patterns, such as high pressure systems.

occlusion, where the cold air mass is forced aloft as the warm air rises over it, creating a mix of warm and cold air.

When fronts meet from the opposite and collide, it is called an occluded front. A cold occluded front is cold air shoving under cool air at the Earth's surface thus the name 'cold occlusion'. The cold warm air boundary aloft is often west of the surface front. A warm occlusion is when cool air rises over cold air at the surface thus the name 'warm occlusion'. The warm-cold air boundary aloft is often east of the surface front. By Lisa Gardiner
When a warm air mass catches up with a cold air mass, it is known as an occluded front. At this point, the warm air mass is forced aloft as the faster-moving cold front overtakes the slower-moving warm front. This results in cooler temperatures and often precipitation.

No, tornadoes usually form over land, not above warm ocean water. The conditions that lead to tornado formation typically involve warm, moist air near the surface interacting with cooler, drier air aloft. Thunderstorms on land are the main source from which tornadoes develop.

The warm air usually originates from a tropical or subtropical latitude, usually from over a warm body of water such as the Gulf of Mexico.

If the flowing air is warm it heat the air mass and cause this air mass to raise, and if it is cool it makes the air mass cold so it become denser then it descend.michael D.K
