Maritime Polar
Maritime Polar refers to a type of climate characterized by cool temperatures and high humidity, typically found in coastal regions near the poles. This climate is influenced by the nearby ocean, which moderates temperature extremes and brings moist air. As a result, areas with a Maritime Polar climate often experience mild summers and cold winters, with precipitation occurring throughout the year.
The North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean are significant contributors to the Maritime Polar climate, affecting regions such as parts of Alaska and the Norwegian coast. These areas often see fog, rain, and snow, creating a unique ecosystem that supports various plant and animal life adapted to cooler, moist conditions.
