Ever wondered how those massive air masses cool down enough to become saturated with water, leading to cloud formation and precipitation? This video dives into the fascinating atmospheric processes that drive air mass cooling, a fundamental concept in meteorology.

Discover the key mechanisms that cause air masses to cool and reach water saturation:
► Air masses cool through adiabatic processes, where expansion causes a drop in temperature without heat exchange with the surroundings.
► Orographic lift forces air masses to rise over mountains, leading to cooling and often precipitation on the windward side.
► Radiational cooling occurs when the ground or air radiates heat into space, particularly effective on clear nights.
► Advection of cold air into a warmer region can cause cooling, especially when warm, moist air moves over a colder surface, leading to fog formation.
► Evaporational cooling happens when water evaporates into the air, absorbing latent heat and lowering the air's temperature, contributing to saturation.
