(d) I is the environmental lapse rate, which measures the actual decrease in temperature with altitude. If I'd > > I'm, the environment is conditionally unstable. What does this mean? In other words, if a parcel is lifted adiabatically, how fast will it cool? 3. The dry adiabatic lapse rate, I'd≈1 K/100 m, and the moist (or saturated) adiabatic lapse rate, I'm depends on moisture content, but is approximated by I'm ≈0.5 K/100 m in the lower troposphere.

On a certain day the temperature is 25.0C and the relative humidity is 90.0%. How many grams of water must condense out of each cubic meter of air if the temperature falls to 15.0C ? Such a drop in temperature can, thus, produce heavy dew or fog.
The energy released from condensation in thunderstorms can be very large. Calculate the energy released into the atmosphere for a small storm of radius 1 km, assuming that 1.0 cm of rain is precipitated uniformlyover this area.
2. If the sun's output of solar radiation increased by 20%, how would this impact the temperature of Earth's mantle? Why?
(II) What is the dew point if the humidity is 65% on a daywhen the temperature is 25°C?
Explain how hail forms? You need to understand that the middle part of a cumulonimbus cloud, where the air temperature is between -40° C and 0° C, there exists a combination of ice and supercooled liquid water droplets, which are cloud droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is below the normal freezing point of liquid water. This should be part of your explanation. How large can hail get? Why are strong updrafts necessary to produce extremely large hail?
In winters, if is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, 150 km inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.

Why would a decrease in the density of the ozone layer cause public health problems?
The temperature of atmosphere is not always constant and can increase or decrease with height. In a neutral atmosphere, where there is a significant amount of vertical mixing, the temperature decreases at a of approximately 6.5 K per km. The magnitude of be decrease in temperature as height increases is known as be lapse rate (I’). (The symbol is upper case Greek letter gamma.) Assume that be surface pressure is p0=1.013105Pa where T=293K and the lapse rate is (I=6.5Kkm) . Estimate the pressure 3.0 km above the surface of Earth.
What are the main methods of heat transfer front the hot core of Earth to its surface? From Earth's surface to outer space? When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the care. What effect will this have on a person in at 40.0C hot tub? Figure 14.30 shows a cutaway drawing of a thermos battle (also known as a Dewar flask), which is a device designed specifically to slow down all terms at heat transfer. Explain the functions of the various parts, such as the vacuum, the silvering of the walls, the thin-walled long glass neck, the rubber support, the air layer, and the stopper. Figure 14.30 The construction of a thermos bottle is designed to inhibit all methods of heat transfer.
Because humidity depends only on water's vapor pressure and temperature, are the saturation vapor densities listed in Table 13.5 valid in an atmosphere of helium at a pressure of 1.01105N/m2 , rather than air? Are those values affected by altitude on Earth?
. The highest point in North America is the top of Mount McKinley in A1aski. 20,320 ft above sea level. Using Figure 4.30, find the approximate air pressure there.
