Answer: Continental Polar Air Masses

Step-by-step explanation:

Continental Polar Air Masses which are also known as Continental Arctic Masses originate from central and northern Canada as a result of cooling from radiation. They are known to be cold, dry and stable and are often marked by surface high pressure and cold temperatures.
