Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The air mass mE (maritime equatorial) is formed over the warm waters of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) near the equator and is characterized by high temperatures and high humidity. However, it does not extend to the mid-latitude regions, and therefore does not play a major role in the dry mid-latitude climate. On the other hand, cP (continental polar) and mT (maritime tropical) air masses can influence the mid-latitude climate by bringing cold, dry air and warm, humid air, respectively.
