Air Masses and Weather Fronts Study Guide Notes

Air Masses and Weather Fronts Study Guide Notes. The study of weather is meteorology. Someone who studies weather is called a meteorologist. Air Pressure and Weather. High Pressure = air is sinking sunny because the air pushes down allowing no evaporation = no clouds
