Popis:	Meteorologists today recognize various distinct types of air-bodies that in general are characterized by a great horizontal homogeneity in physical properties. This uniformity in properties obtains through a development of a thermodynamic and hydrodynamic equilibrium at certain critical or source regions within the general atmospheric-circulation system. Eventually, after these bodies of air attain a certain potential energy of mass-distribution, polar currents begin to migrate toward the equator and tropical currents toward the pole. The character of the moisture- and temperature-modifications that occur during these migrations depends upon whether the paths of these air-bodies lie over continental or marine areas.
