Continental arctic air, cA. This air mass originated over a snow- and ice-covered region. The air temperature in the troposphere rises or remains nearly stable with altitude, so this air is subject to intense cooling from below, with the result that deep inversions, called arctic inversions, occur in its lower layers. 4, record 1, English, - continental%20arctic%20air%20mass

Air continental arctique, cA. À sa source, la masse d'air continentale arctique recouvre une région glacée et enneigée. Comme la température de l'air dans la troposphère croît ou reste presque stable avec l'altitude, le refroidissement intense que subit cet air en surface cause une profonde inversion dans ses couches inférieures. 1, record 1, French, - masse%20d%27air%20continentale%20arctique
