MARITIME AIR MASS
An air mass influenced by the sea. It is a secondary characteristic of an air mass classification, signified by the small "m" before the primary characteristic, which is based on source region.
MARITIME AIR MASS: Moist air mass originating over the ocean.
MILLIBAR (MB): A unit of atmospheric pressure. 1 mb = 100 Pa (pascal). Normal surface pressure is approximately 1013 millibars.
MOS: Model Output Statistics.
MARITIME AIR MASS: Moist air mass originating over the ocean.
METEOROLOGY: The study of the atmosphere and atmospheric phenomena.
MICROBURST: A strong localized downdraft from a thunderstorm with peak gusts lasting 2 to 5 minutes.
Maritime air mass An air mass that originates over the ocean. These air masses are relatively humid.
Maritime polar air Cool, humid air mass that forms over the cold ocean waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic.
MARITIME AIR MASS - Moist air mass originating over the ocean.
MCS- Mesoscale Convective System. A large cluster of thunderstorms and rain. Can be a squall line, multi-cells or a mesoscale convective complex.
Maritime Air Mass- An air mass that forms over water. It is usually humid, and may be cold or warm.
Maximum Temperature- The highest temperature during a specified time period.
Thus, cold arctic air masses are most common in the arctic regions and maritime air masses generally form over water.
rain with low stratus clouds and bad visibility that frequently occurs between late January and early April and may persist for several days. It is associated with a fall of pressure over China and a change from a continental to a maritime air mass.
