Question

Select all that are True.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The maximum level to which a parcel of air will ascend under a given set of conditions is known as the mixing height.

C) The adiabatic lapse rate for a given air parcel will intersect the environmental lapse rate at the mixing height.

D) The actual temperature profile of the ambient air can be used to determine the environmental lapse rate.

Explanation:

• The atmospheric mixing results form the convective motions of air that rises from the surface and the ground is dry and the surface is warmed up, due to the rise in the potential temperature of the place and this vertical mixing of the suspended particles from the ground will be known as the dry adiabatic lapses rate.

• The adiabatic lapse rate at high the temperature of the air parcel changes in response to the conditions that are associated with the height and the interactions with the mixing height in the environmental lapses rate.

• The environmental or the prevailing lapse rate can be determined for the temperature profiles and due to the changes in the atmospheric pressure.
