Chapter 19, Problem Q19.17DQ
The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?

The temperature of the air in thermals decreases about 10°C for each 1,000 m they rise. If a thermal leaves the ground with a temperature of 35°C and a relative humidity of 77 percent, at what altitude will the air become saturated and the water vapor begin to condense to form a cloud? (In other words, at what altitude does the temperature equal the dew point?)__________ m
