2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to air temperature as we go higher in the atmosphere?
Think about how weather balloons behave.
What is buoyancy in simple terms?
It’s what keeps hot air balloons afloat.
What temperature change occurs with the dry adiabatic lapse rate for every kilometer of height?
This is a standard value used in atmospheric science.
True or False: In a stable atmosphere, rising parcels of air will continue to rise indefinitely.
Think about the behavior of balloons in stable conditions.
A region shows persistent temperature inversions. How would this affect local air quality, and what mitigation measures could be put in place?
Think about human actions that can mitigate the effects of stable atmospheric conditions.
Calculate the vertical distance a pollutant can rise in a given temperature profile with specific environmental lapse rates. Use hypothetical temperatures for a theoretical analysis.
Use the formula ΔT = lapse rate (°C/km) x height (km) to find the height.
