5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to temperature as altitude increases in a typical lapse rate?
Think about how the air feels when you go higher up a mountain.
Define temperature inversion.
Consider what happens on clear, calm nights.
What is the typical lapse rate?
It's the standard used in atmospheric science.
True or False: Temperature inversions can lead to higher concentrations of air pollutants near the surface.
Consider what happens to air quality in calm nights.
Consider a scenario where the environmental lapse rate is 4°C/km. If an air parcel rises from a temperature of 20°C at the ground level, will it continue rising or start to sink? Explain your answer.
Compare the parcel's temperature change with the environmental lapse rate.
A city experiences a temperature inversion where the ground temperature is 15°C and 1000m above it, the temperature is 25°C. Discuss the implications for air quality and pollutant behavior.
Think about how stable air affects movement.
