Mixture model-based atmospheric air mass classification: a probabilistic view of thermodynamic profiles

Air mass classification has become an important area in synoptic climatology, simplifying the complexity of the atmosphere by dividing the atmosphere into discrete similar thermodynamic patterns. However, the constant growth of atmospheric databases in both size and complexity implies the need to de...
