4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the adiabatic lapse rate in °C per meter?
Think of the rate of temperature change with height.
Define adiabatic expansion.
Consider what happens when air goes up.
What is the adiabatic lapse rate?
Remember the constant value associated with adiabatic expansion.
True or False: Potential temperature is the same as the actual temperature.
Think about what 'potential' means in this context.
Given an air parcel at 1000 m with a temperature of 15 °C, how will its temperature change when it rises to 2000 m?
Calculate the temperature drop using the lapse rate.
Explain how the height of mixing can vary based on seasonal changes and its impact on air quality.
Consider how seasonal temperature variations affect mixing height.
