What happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
An air mass is a large body of air with uniform temperature and?
temperature humidity and pressure
What air mass is colder mt or mp?
THE "t" in mt designates that the air mass originated in the tropics. The "p" in mp designates that it is an air mass that has originated in polar regions and therefore, based on their origins the tropic air mass would obviously contain higher temperatures. The confusion here may lie in the fact that these air masses occure throughout the year and winter and spring air masses compared to each other at different times of the year may be closer in temperature than the two air masses that occure at the same time of year. So, a winter mt will be cooler than a spring mt and a summer mt will be warmer than an autumn mt, and so on.
How is temperature humidity and pressure vary within an air mass?
The temperature of an air mass depends on the temperature of the surface over which it originated, which is largely determined by latitude. Moisture usually comes from a body of water such as the ocean.
What is advective cooling?
the process by which the temperature of an air mass decreases as the air mass moves over a cold surface.
What is the name of the air mass that forms over the North Pacific?
mP air mass
What is England's air mass region?
mP (maritime polar)
What air mass often originates as a different air mass in Siberia and is subsequently altered?
Mp is canadian cp is siberian
How are air temperature and air density related?
Assuming the conditions for an ideal gas: PV=nRT (an "ideal" gas) V =nR/P * T --> V=volume, T=temperature, D=M/V --> D=density, M=mass, V=Volume Therefore D =M/(nR/P *T) -->Sub in for V D=MP/(nRT) If you assume constant MP/nR then D = k/T , k=MP/nR, D=density and T= temperature
Which air mass would be associated with cold wet conditions?
Maritime Polar (mP)
What is an equatorial air mass?
Air formed in places where the temperature is warm.
What happens to the air temperature of a descending air mass?
Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
How are temperature and air mass related?
For a given volume and pressure, the mass of the air contained in that volume (density) will decrease as the temperature increases.
An air mass is a large body of air with uniform temperature?
temperature humidity and pressure
Which air mass may produce an occasional nor'Easter-during winter?
mP maritime polar
Which air mass may produce an occasional noreaster during winter?
mP maritime polar
All of the air in an air mass has nearly the same?
The temperature and moisture characteristics are uniform in the same air mass.
