Talk:Water mass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

a pint of water = ?kilo

1 pint ~= 470 mL = 0.47 L ~= 0.47 kg

Air masses are classified according to their temperature and moisture content. The temperature characteristics of an air mass are defined by the terms Arctic and Polar Tropical, with arctic being the coldest and tropical being the warmest. The moisture content of an air mass is defined by the terms Maritime and Continental. Maritime air is a moist air mass; where as Continental air is relatively dry. The temperature and moisture terms are then combined to describe the air mass. For example, a maritime tropical air mass would be warm and moist, and a continental arctic would be cold and dry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.0.81 (talk) 19:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
