3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to the air temperature at night compared to the soil temperature?
Consider how heat is transferred from the ground to the air.
Define temperature inversion.
It is the opposite of the expected temperature profile.
What occurs to the pollutants during a temperature inversion?
Think about how temperature affects air flow.
True or False: During the night, the temperature of the soil generally stays higher than the air temperature.
Reflect on how heat radiates from the ground at night.
Calculate the expected temperature of an air parcel at 1,000 meters if its starting temperature was 20°C, assuming it cools at a dry adiabatic lapse rate.
Remember to subtract the lapse rate from the original temperature.
Analyze how a city like Los Angeles might experience increased smog levels during a temperature inversion and propose two methods to mitigate this issue.
Consider both immediate and long-term solutions to reduce emissions.
