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?
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.
Maritime (marine for humid) Polar (cold/cool)
The source region for the maritime tropical air mass originate over the warm waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
there are 5 types of air masses... 1. Arctic Polar 2. Continental Polar 3. Maritime Polar 4. Continental Tropical 5. Maritime Tropical

A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
Over the northern Atlantic and the northern Pacific oceans.
It's when air in a region is very moist (humidity is high)
A maritime polar air mass is characterized as a cold and moist air mass.
maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental polar, and continental tropical
Maritime Polar :)
a maritime polar air mass is an air mass with cool and moist conditions. they form in the northern areas of the atlantic and pacific ocean.
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.

source region actually the answer is air masses are classified by a combination of words the 1st word represents where the air mass forms(maritime or continital) the 2nd is the temperature(polar or tropical)
