When a mass of extremely cold, dry air moves over the ocean, it is most likely to become a maritime polar air mass. This is because the cold, dry air will pick up moisture from the ocean, but because it starts off as cold (and tends to retain that characteristic), it will transition into a maritime polar air mass rather than a tropical or continental type.
