Given this information, what is the temperature of the parcel at the surface?
Being the leader of Earth can be boring at times. Because of this, I like to, from time to time, have a probe bring air from aloft down to the surface adiabatically. So let’s say I send a probe into the Stratosphere, and it collects a parcel of air at 155 mb. Further, let’s assume that the average air temperature where my probe is at 165 mb is 55 degrees C. The probe returns this air parcel to the surface...

Weather question.
4). Consider the mountain below. An air parcel at the western base of the mountain has a temperature of 22 C and a dewpoint of 17 C. As the air ascends and descends, it will either cool (or warm in the case of descent) at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of -10 C/km, or at the moist adiabatic lapse rate of -6 C/km. Remember, the equation for the lapse rate is SudT/dz. (T -Tita)/(z.-Z.). Answer the following questions....

Potential temperature can be used to compare the temperature of air parcels that are at different levels in the troposphere. Since temperature tends to decrease with height, it is difficult to note which regions in the troposphere are experiencing warm and which cold advection. Bringing air parcels adiabatically to a standard level (1000 hPa) allows comparisons to be made between air parcels at different elevations. If the potential temperature of an air parcel at one pressure level is lower than...

Flying Circus of Physics Adiabatic wind. The normal airflow over the Rocky Mountains is west to east. The air loses much of its moisture content and is chilled as it climbs the western side of the mountains. When it descends on the eastern side, the increase in pressure toward lower altitudes causes the temperature to increase. The flow, then called a chinook wind, can rapidly raise the air temperature at the base of the mountains. Assume that the air pressure...
