In case of maritime tropical region, the air blows are warm enough and contains some water in it. In continental polar and continental arctic, due to its location at the poles, the air here is dry and cold because of its low temperature. In case of maritime polar, the air here is moist enough and sufficiently cool.
maritime polar form in cold/dry places.
maritime- moist polar- cold... so it would be moist and cold weather fronts
A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
Polar Air masses, exiting The Arctic are always cold and sometimes COLD. Maritime Areas always involve Oceans and moisture.
cT= continental Tropical cP=continental Polar mT=maritime Tropical there is also : mP=maritime Polar cA=continental Arctic c(continental)=dry/not very humid m(maritime)=wet/humid T(Tropical=warm P(Polar)=cold A(Arctic)=very cold these are all terms used during a weather topic

Pay close attention to your question. A maritime (meaning oceanic) air mass has moisture, therefore it's not dry. Polar (meaning from the polar region) air mass is cold, therefore it is cold. Hence a maritime polar air mass would be moist and cold...how hard was that?
I believe there are only 5 different air masses in the US: 1. Arctic Polar 2. Continental Polar 3. Maritime Polar 4. Continental Tropical 5. Maritime Tropical Hope this helped!

Maritime (marine for humid) Polar (cold/cool)
the four different types of air masses are continental polar,and tropical. maritime tropical, and polar. the 5 kinds ofair masses are: Cp: continental polar Ct: continental tropical Ca: continental artic Mp: maritime polar Mt: maritime tropical (Ma:maritime artic) maritime artic is much less common than the other air masses, because very cold air is less likely to be moist.
A maritime polar air mass is a mass of air, very much like that of continental polar air, that has passed over warm water (such as an ocean) thus rendering it unstable.
