Calculate what the temperature of a dry air parcel from near the tropopause (temperature, 200 K; altitude, 10 kilometers) would be if it were brought to the surface and it warmed adiabatically all the way down. Compare this temperature to the “freezing point” of water. Why don’t farmers simply pump air from the tropopause down onto their crops when frost threatens?
