Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm, moist, and usually unstable. Some maritime tropical air masses originate in the subtropical Pacific Ocean, where it is warm and air must travel a long distance over water. ... Some maritime tropical air masses originate over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea
