A northern maritime polar (mP) is a cold, high-moisture, sea-based air mass, typically being brewed over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans at latitudes of 40 to 60 degrees N. They therefore impact North American land in Canada and the northern US. Typical US areas affected by mP are the Pacific Northwest and New England.
