Air Masses

Use the following maps to identify cold and warm airmasses.

Exercise 1: Indicate where the dividing line is between cP and mT Airmasses

Across the top there are a series of buttons:

  • Erase last line = this button erases the latest line you've drawn; pressing twice will erase the last two lines, etc.
  • Colors = Use these to select the color of the isolines you draw
  • Show Solution = If you want to see how we analyzed the data, press this button

Exercise 2: Indicate where the dividing line is between mP and cP Airmasses

Exercise 3: Indicate where different Airmass Source Regions are found
