Air continental tropical, cT. Ce type d'air est plutôt rare, puisque les régions tropicales sont constituées de ces grandes étendues d'eau que sont le Pacifique, l'Atlantique et le golfe du Mexique. Comme ces eaux alimentent les masses d'air en humidité, on ne connaît de conditions très chaudes et sèches que peu fréquemment dans les tropiques. 4, record 1, French, - air%20continental%20tropical
