Question 1.
Define atmospheric stability in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how air movements change with temperature.
Question 2.
What is the adiabatic lapse rate?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the temperature decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere.
3Question 3.
What is the adiabatic lapse rate?
- -0.0098 °C/m
- -0.0098 °C/km
- 0.0098 °C/km
Show hintHide hint
Recall the specific measurement units used.
4Question 4.
True or False: Stability in the atmosphere affects the ability of pollutants to disperse.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how stable or unstable air conditions impact pollutants.
Question 5.
Consider a scenario where pollutant X is released at a certain height. Describe how changes in temperature gradients might affect its dispersion using the concepts learned.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the roles of both stability and mixing height in affecting dispersion.
Question 6.
If you have a pollutant with a high diffusion coefficient, how would this impact concentration predictions at different distances from the source?
Show hintHide hint
Relate diffusion rates to the qualitative behavior of pollutant concentration over distance.
