	Temperate Climate
		The maritime climate is strongly influenced by the oceans, which maintain fairly steady temperatures across the seasons.
		This is particularly true in North America, where the north-south aligned Rocky Mountains act as a climate barrier to the mild maritime air blowing from the west.
		Maritime climate, on the other hand, penetrates further into Europe where the major mountain range - the Alps - is orientated east-west.

	Maritime Climate
		Oceanicity is a measure of the degree to which the climate of a region is influenced by a maritime airflow from the oceans.
		Maritime climates generally are fairly humid, accompanied by considerable amounts of precipitation, since the main moisture source is not very far away.
		The maritime air masses that influence this part of the world are particularly mild on account of the warming influence of the Gulf Stream.

	Temperate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The maritime climate is clearly affected by the oceans, which help to sustain somewhat stable temperatures throughout the year.
		In Europe, the maritime climate is able to stabilize temperatures further inland, because the major mountain range - the Alps - is oriented east-west.
		Today, the most commonly used climate map is one developed by German climatologist and amateur botanist Wladimir Köppen (1846-1940) which divides the world into six major climate regions, based on average annual precipitation, average monthly precipitation, and average monthly temperature.

	Climate: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The overall climate of the province is marked by considerable seasonality and volatility.
		The overall climate of the province is marked by considerable seasonality and volatility, often with short-term changes to the weather patterns that can be difficult to predict.
		Because the province extends across a considerable span of latitude (46.5-60.5°N) and longitude (from the continental interior of western Labrador to the southeastern peninsulas of the island with their exposure to the sea), the timing, duration and climatic character of the seasons varies substantially across the province.

	FMI - Weather and Climate - Climate in Finland
		The main factor influencing Finland's climate is the country's geographical position between the 60th and 70th northern parallels in the Eurasian continent's coastal zone, which shows characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate, depending on the direction of air flow.
		Despite the moderating effect of the ocean, the Asian continental climate also extends to Finland at times, manifesting itself as severe cold in winter and extreme heat in summer.
		According to Köppen's climate classification, Finland belongs wholly to the temperate coniferous-mixed forest zone with cold, wet winters, where the mean temperature of the warmest month is no lower than 10°C and that of the coldest month no higher than -3°C, and where the rainfall is, on average, moderate in all seasons.

	Climate In Germany
		Northwestern and coastal Germany have a maritime climate caused by warm westerly winds from the North Sea; the climate is characterized by warm summers and mild cloudy winters.
		Farther inland, the climate is continental, marked by greater diurnal and seasonal variations in temperature, with warmer summers and colder winters.
		This climate is characterized by lower temperatures because of higher altitudes and greater precipitation caused by air becoming moisture-laden as it lifts over higher terrain.

	Arctic Climate: A Primer
		The arctic climate is characterized by high spatial variability, and includes both polar maritime (influenced by the ocean) and continental (influenced by large land masses) climate subtypes.
		The main constant is that the climate in all arctic areas is affected by the extreme solar radiation conditions of high latitudes.
		Maritime climate conditions prevail over the Arctic Ocean, coastal Alaska, Iceland, northern Norway and adjoining parts of Russia.

	Marine West Coast Climate
		This climate is found on the west coast of midlatitude continents and is very humid through most of the year.
		The distribution of the climate is greatly influenced by the orientation of mountain systems in North America and Europe.

	Air mass types
		Maritime polar air is warmer than continental polar air in the winter as the surface temperature of the ocean is higher.
		Maritime polar air masses that enter the west coast are forced to rise up coastal mountain chains causing significant orographic uplift and precipitation.
		Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm and moist air masses that are responsible for much of the precipitation east of the Rocky mountains in the United States.

	Weather in the Arctic - All Things Arctic
		The main climate constant in all Arctic areas is the extreme fluctuation of incoming solar radiation.

		Ice-cap climates have average temperatures year round that are below freezing, the growth of vegetation is impossible, and a permanent snow-and-ice cover prevails.

		Tropical climates are mainly ascribed to islands or regions in equatorial zones.
		The coastal/semi-desert climate is a special type of climate that describes a regime of hot summer drought and winter rain, and is north of the subtropical climate zone.
		Polar climates tend to be dry because the descending air is cold and lacks significant moisture, precluding the formation of clouds and snowfall.

	ENGLISH
		The climate is the whole of the normal and abnormal meteorology conditions that distinguish an area in a deliberate period (temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, winds,…).
		The climate of the western half of the British Isles is dominated by maritime tropical and polar air, whilst the east area climate is often influenced by more continental regimes.
		The Alpine climate: here the climate is very cold and snowy (especially in north-west Alps) with temperature that, sometimes, arrives at -35°C. The Alps conditions the climate of Italy; in fact they give more difficult the passage of the cold winds from North and, also, the passage of the perturbations.

		Moist maritime air from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans influences the coastal climates in various ways, lowering temperatures and humidity when the flow is from the north and raising both when from the south.
		Farther north, the climate is classically maritime in the coastal portions of the states of Oregon and Washington, the wettest areas of the U.S. Summers are cool and winters mild with heavy rainfall.
		Although Alaska is much farther north, its southern and western coastal areas enjoy a maritime climate similar to coastal Washington and Oregon thanks to the year-round moderating effect of air masses moving in from the Pacific Ocean.

		An oceanic climate (also called marine west coast climate and maritime climate) is the climate typically found along the west coasts at the middle latitudes of all the world's continents, and in southeastern Australia; similar climates are also found at high elevations within the tropics.
		Oceanic climates are characterized by a narrower annual range of temperatures than are encountered in other places at a comparable latitude, and differ from Mediterranean climates in that significant amounts of precipitation are received in summer.
		With one significant exception, oceanic climates are classified as humid with respect to precipitation, the only major example of a dry oceanic climate being that of Patagonia.
