mT (maritime tropical) and mP (maritime polar) air masses are alike in that both originate over large bodies of water, which influences their moisture content. They typically bring humidity to the regions they affect, though mT is warm and moist, while mP is cool and moist. Both air masses can lead to significant weather patterns, including precipitation, especially when they interact with continental air masses.
