Air mass thunderstorms are formed when two different air masses converge. When a cold front meets a warm front, an air mass thunderstorm develops. These can be very intense thunderstorms and last several hours, and may produce tornadoes, though not always.

Why is it important for a meteorologist to know about air pressure how does it help him or her forecast the weather?

Air always flows from high-pressure to low-pressure areas. This allows the meteorologist to predict wind direction and speed.


How did the weather term front get its name?

The term "front" in weather refers to the boundary between air masses with different characteristics. It was named by a Norwegian meteorologist, Vilhelm Bjerknes, in the early 20th century due to its association with the leading edge of advancing air masses in weather systems.


If a meteorologist describes the air as saturated what does he or she mean?

When a meteorologist describes the air as saturated, it means that the air has reached its maximum capacity to hold water vapor at a given temperature and pressure. At this point, the relative humidity is 100%, and any additional moisture will condense into water droplets, possibly leading to precipitation. This condition often results in overcast skies and increased likelihood of rain or fog.


What does cT mean in weather?

In weather terms, "cT" typically refers to a "continental tropical" air mass. This air mass originates from dry desert regions and is characterized by being hot and dry. When a cT air mass moves into an area, it can bring high temperatures and low humidity.


What happens when air mass moves over an area?

A wind is a moving air mass. If the air mass has passed over a large ocean, it could mean clouds and rain falling over an area.

Which has the lowest mass air or clay?

That question doesn't mean anything, mass is mass. If you are asking which has a greater mass per unit volume, also known as density, then the air will have a lower density than clay.
