What is a box model in atmospheric studies?
Think about how we visualize changes in concentration over space.
Define mixing height.
Consider how pollutants disperse in the atmosphere.
What does a box model help to predict?
Think about the primary applications of box models.
True or False: The adiabatic lapse rate changes with altitude.
Recall the definition of the adiabatic lapse rate.
If the adiabatic lapse rate is -0.0098°C/m, how much will the temperature drop when an air parcel rises 500 meters?
Multiply the lapse rate by the height change.
Describe how using a box model can help in urban planning regarding air quality control.
Think about pollutant sources and their expected dispersion.
