Hydrology
A thunderstorm cell 4.0 km in diameter has cloud base = 1.0 km. The ground surface indicates saturated air conditions with temp= 30°C. The pressure is = 1 atm, wind speed 4.0 m/s, and average outflow elevation of 8.0 km. Calculate the precipitation intensity from this storm if the Lapse rate= 7.5°C/km, average air density and specific humidity between earth's surface and the base =1.2 Kg/m3 and 0.019 kg/kg. assume that the specific humidity at the outflow cloud part is 0.00012 kg/kg.
