Module 4 - Air Masses & Fronts

Objective:

It is to be expected that air from widely separated and different parts of the earth might show very different kinds of weather. It is perhaps less obvious that where these different kinds of air meet additional areas of poor weather often occur.

In this module we will study these different kinds of air, their properties, and their interactions.
