It is a warm air mass over a continent that describes an air mass with the symbol cT.

For example, we can take the example of Sahara Desert of Northern Africa is among the major source of such air masses. Some common characteristics of such air masses are:

i.hot and dry

ii.very unstable

iv.can incur with thunderstorm.

These Air masses are titled on the basis of their characteristics such as varying temperatures and vapor content.
