given in Table 1. Indicate significant points on the tephigramme and also write out the solutions.
a) Water vapour mixing ratio at the surface.
b) Dew point temperature at the surface
c) Pressure, temperature, and height at the lifting condensation level.
d) Wet bulb temperature at the surface.
e) Pressure, temperature, and height at the level of free convection.
f) Pressure, temperature, and height at the equilibrium level (or level of neutral buoyancy).
g) Adiabatic condensed water content for ascent from the surface to the equilibrium level.
h) Amount of latent heat energy released in ascent from surface to the equilibrium level.
