Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes the difference in air temperature and humidity between the cP and mT air masses? The mT air mass is warmer and more humid.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the difference in the air temperature and humidity between cP and mT air masses? The mT air mass is warmer and more humid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Connection Between Air Masses and Fronts For example, if you have a maritime-Tropical (mT) air mass (warm and humid) adjacent to a continental-Polar (cP) air mass (cold and dry), temperature and dew point are bound to change quite a bit near the transition zone between air masses!
Detailed explanation-4: -The maritime Tropical (mT) is the most important moisture-bearing and rain-producing air mass throughout the year. It is warm, moist, usually unstable.
Detailed explanation-5: -Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm, moist, and usually unstable.
