mP (maritime polar)
The characteristics of an air mass are heavily influenced by its source region. The temperature, humidity, and stability of an air mass are reflective of the conditions prevalent in its source region. For example, an air mass originating from a tropical ocean region will be warm, moist, and unstable, while an air mass from a polar continental region will be cold, dry, and stable.
Air Mass or equlibrium
A large body of air with relatively uniform properties is called an air mass. Air masses are characterized by their temperature and moisture content, which is influenced by the region over which they form. When an air mass moves over a different area, it can bring its unique weather conditions to that region.

Air Mass
The mass that forms over the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean is called a maritime tropical air mass. The source region for this air mass is labeled with the letter "m."
air mass
An air mass usually brings the weather of the region it originated from. For example, a warm air mass from the tropics will bring warm and humid weather, while a cold air mass from the Arctic will bring cold and dry conditions.
Air mass weather
The source region of a maritime polar air mass is typically a cold, moist maritime region near the poles, such as the North Atlantic or North Pacific Ocean. As the air mass moves away from this region, it can bring cool, damp weather conditions to areas it affects.
