According to air masses classification, we can assume that to the west of the stationary front in northwestern Canada there is a maritime Polar (mP) air mass which is likely to be warmer than the air mass to the east. Option B) mP, warmer.
Air masses are horizontal extensions of moving air in which humidity, temperature, and physical properties are homogeneous.
Air masses can be classified according to their temperature (Cold or Warm), nature (continental -c- or maritime -m-), Origin region (Polar -P-, Artic -A-, Antarctic -AA-, Tropical -T-, Equatorial -E-)
Joining the previous classifications, we can identify different air masses
Maritime Polar air masses (mP)
Looking at the image, we will focus on the superior left area near the A. This is a red line with semicircles that represents a warmer front.
This red line comes from the west and moves forward to the northeast. Since this point is located near the coast, we can assume this is a maritime air mass.
These red lines, which represent worm fronts, suggest that to the west, the air is warmer than to the east.
The likely air mass to the west of the stationary front is a maritime Polar (mP) air mass which is likely to be warmer than the air mass to the east.
Option B) mP, warmer.
