arctic anticyclone

Peculiarities of summer transformation of air masses in the Lower Volga region of stationary arctic anticyclones

Introduction. Transformation is understood as a change in the properties of an air mass: its temperature, humidity, and stability. Transformation changes are especially strong in the summer when cold air from the Arctic basin shifts to the continental regions of Eurasia. When empirically studying the transformation process, there are difficulties associated with determining its beginning and end.
