What happens to warmer air compared to cooler air?
Think about the concept of buoyancy.
What is the dry adiabatic lapse rate?
Remember the standard value used in meteorology.
True or False: In stable atmospheric conditions, pollutants are likely to disperse rapidly.
Think about air movement in stable conditions.
Research a local air quality event where temperature inversions led to pollution outbreaks. Analyze the conditions and consequences involved.
Consider researching meteorological data during the event.
Given varying temperatures at different heights, determine the presence of stable or unstable conditions and forecast environmental impacts.
Use illustrations of environmental lapse rates to guide your analysis.
