P1 Describe the air masses that affect the UK, their
origins and routes.
To begin with an air mass is a volume of air defined by its
temperature and water vapour content present from different
directions. The place where an air mass starts is called a source
region. The classification of air masses is based upon the region
they are formed over such as continental or maritime which
depends on whether they originate over land or sea. Arctic or Polar
that form at high latitudes so are cooler and tropical which form at
low latitudes therefore gives us warmer weather. The British Isles is
affected by 5 air masses which are as follows:
1. Polar Maritime
2. Artic Maritime
3. Tropical Maritime
4. Polar Continental
5. Tropical Continental
The picture attached below shows a clear view of which areas these
air masses are originated from and their path over the surface of the
Earth.
