Definición

  • The most common definition of an air mass is a large body of air, relatively homogeneous with respect to temperature, humidity, and vertical lapse rates. While this definition is generally valid, it is true only for air masses that remain within their source regions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Air Masses]
