Maritime tropical air masses originate over the warm waters of the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are transferred to the overlying air from the waters below. The northward movement of tropical air masses transports warm moist air into the United States, increasing the potential for precipitation. http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/af/arms/trp.rxml

A. Continental air masses are characterized by dry air near the surface while maritime air masses are moist. Polar air masses are characterized by cold air near the surface while tropical air masses are warm or hot. Arctic air masses are extremely cold. http://okfirst.mesonet.org/train/meteorology/AirMasses.html

C. Continental Polar Air Masses: cold temperatures and little moisture. . Continental Polar Air Masses cold temperatures and little moisture. Those who live in northern portions of the United States expect cold weather during the winter months. http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/wwhlpr/arctic_airmass_def.rxml
