2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term 'temperature profile' refer to?
Think about how temperature changes as you go up into the sky.
Define buoyancy in the context of air.
Consider why hot air balloons rise.
What happens to pollutants in a stable atmosphere?
Consider the relationship between stability and air quality.
The adiabatic lapse rate is approximately -9.8 °C per kilometer. Is this statement True or False?
Think about how high you go and how temperature changes.
If a pollutant is released from a ground level source during a temperature inversion, describe its potential behavior and consequences for air quality.
Consider how temperature profiles interact with pollutant movement.
Calculate the decrease in temperature for an air parcel that rises 1.5 kilometers according to the dry adiabatic lapse rate of -9.8°C/km.
Use the formula: Temperature drop = height (km) x lapse rate (°C/km).
