Noah Goetsch Meteorology 5/10/16 Identify different air mass types‚ their origins and their characteristics An air mass is a large body of air that has uniform weather characteristics. Temperature and humidity play a key part in determining what kind of air mass will appear. I will talk about categories of air masses‚ where they form‚ and what characteristics are unique to each kind of air mass. Air masses are either continental or maritime. Continental is on land and maritime is on water. Maritime

Air Masses There are many components when it comes to understanding different types of weather systems. When it comes to weather‚ many vital parts such as air masses are very important to understand. One might ask‚ what is an air mass? An air mass is a large body of air that has similar temperature and moisture properties (ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu). When there are similar characteristics and temperature and humidity within an air mass this is called its source region. The source region is

Snow In A Farewell to Arms‚ Ernest Hemingway attempts to tell the unvarnished truth about war — to present an honest‚ rather than a heroic‚ account of combat‚ retreat‚ and the ways in which soldiers fill their time when they are not fighting. Yet Hemingway’s realistic approach to his subject does not rule out the use of many time-honored literary devices. For instance‚ weather is to this day a fundamental component of the war experience. Hemingway depicts weather realistically in A Farewell

air parcel descending down the leeward side of a mountain changing shape and spinning faster. Eventually‚ occlusion occurs. The warm sector at the ground is forced aloft creating an occluded front. There is typically a short period of intense precipitation and wind as the warm becomes forced aloft‚ allowing the low-pressure center to then be completely surround by cool air establishing a more stable condition. The pressure gradient and energy weaken and eventually dissipates. 5. Describe why the

Climate of Bangladesh Climate is the average weather of 30-year time period for a particular region. Climate is not the same as weather‚ but rather‚ it is the average pattern of weather for a particular region. Weather describes the short-term state of atmosphere. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the center of Bangladesh and the country’s climate can be described as tropical monsoon type - warm and humid in the summer‚ dry and cool in the winter. The dominant climatic factor for Bangladesh is

“Places around the equator and those at latitude 60N are dominated by low pressure belts. Yet the weather and heat transfer processes in the two regions are very different. The weather in the equatorial region is often unchanging while that along latitude 60’N is variable.” Briefly describe the formation of low pressure belts in the two regions. Explain the different weather patterns in the two regions with reference to atmospheric circulation and movement of air masses. Discuss the heat transfer

Global warming affects many areas of the planet. Not only are plants and animals affected by the rising temperatures‚ but so are the intensity of storms. Global warming is believed to be responsible for numerous storms across the world intensifying. Global warming is believed to be causing more severe hurricanes‚ floods‚ and now monsoon season. As the temperatures across the globe continue to rise the intensity of the monsoon storms is continuing to build. If the temperatures continue to rise‚ the

Micro-Reactions: Predicting the Products of Double Replacement Reactions Introduction – A double replacement reaction is a chemical reaction between two compounds where the positive ion of one compound is exchanged with the positive ion of another compound. If you have the reactants of two reaction solution that you can determine the products. All you need to do is pair the positive parts of the compounds with the other compounds negative part. Once you find the products you can determine their

The climate of the British Isles is said to be both temperate and maritime‚ discuss. The British Isles located at 54◦N has historically had very unstable and hard to predict weather patterns due its location where five significantly different air masses converge and with influences from the Sub-polar Jet stream and North Atlantic Drift. Along with the additional complication of global warming potentially causing more extreme weather‚ meteorologists have been unable to agree on whether the UK has

Global warming is a major issue in society. It has entered political speeches‚ agendas‚ pop culture‚ and sparks scientific debate. Global warming has been said to be responsible for heat waves‚ the rise of sea levels‚ flooding‚ drought‚ malnutrition‚ water pollution‚ and spread of disease. There is proof that the Earth’s temperature has risen‚ but is that really a threat? According to Jonathon Patz‚ with the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health‚ and Sari Kovats‚ with the London School
