5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to temperature during a temperature inversion?
Think about how temperature behaves during the day versus at night.
Define the adiabatic lapse rate.
Consider what happens to air as it rises.
What is the dry adiabatic lapse rate?
Recall the standard value for dry air rising.
True or False: Pollution concentrations are typically higher when the atmosphere is unstable.
Consider how rising air helps to mix and disperse pollutants.
A pollutant is released from a stack in a stable environment with a temperature inversion. Describe the expected behavior of the pollutant in terms of concentration and dispersion.
Think of how air behaves in layers under temperature inversion.
Calculate the mixing height if the environmental lapse rate is 5°C/km and the starting temperature is 25°C, while the surrounding temperature at the intersection is 15°C.
Determine the height at which temperatures equalize.
