The origin of cold, wet air masses typically occurs over water in polar regions. These air masses are formed when warm, moist air moves over cold ocean waters, which causes the air to cool and condense, leading to increased humidity and the potential for precipitation. Cold, wet air masses are often associated with polar maritime climates, which originate from the colder regions of the Earth.
