Which conserved quantity labels an air mass most usefully?
Answer: C
Potential temperature is conserved during adiabatic vertical motion, so it identifies an air mass regardless of the level at which it is found. Temperature, pressure and density all change as a parcel moves vertically and therefore cannot serve the purpose. This is why isentropic analysis follows surfaces of constant potential temperature.
