Part A Air Masses Air masses have specific and distinct characteristics from the atmosphere that surrounds them This is specifically true in relation to their humidity and their temperature Meteorologists have developed a type of coding to identify the overall humidity and temperature This closely relates to their source region Continental c air masses form over land masses Maritime m air masses form over water bodies Air masses that form in polar regions are designated with a P and air masses that form in tropical regions are designated with a T 1 What would the general temperature and humidity conditions be for the following types of air masses a cP b mP c mT 2 Refer to Figure 7 1 which shows the source region and direction of most of the air masses that influence the weather conditions of North America a Label each of the air masses cP cT mP or mT
