Final answer:
Typically, air mass codes are c (continental), m (maritime), A (Arctic), P (Polar), T (Tropical), E (Equatorial), and k or aa (high altitude). A correct pairing matches the air mass code with its proper temperature and moisture characteristics, such as 'T' for Tropical (warm), any incorrect matching is the wrong pairing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is attempting to understand air mass code letters and their corresponding descriptions. Air masses are large bodies of air that have uniform temperature and humidity characteristics and are assigned code letters based on their source regions and surface.
Typically, the codes include:
- c for continental (dry),
- m for maritime (moist),
- A for Arctic (very cold),
- P for Polar (cold),
- T for Tropical (warm),
- E for Equatorial (very warm),
- k or aa for high altitude (cold).
If a code letter is paired with an incorrect word from the above list, that would be the wrong pairing. For example, if T were paired with very cold instead of warm, that would be incorrect because T stands for Tropical, which implies warm air mass characteristics.
