Air at sea level with a temperature of 24° C is forced up a mountain slope and the dew point temperature is 8° C. At what elevat
aev [14]

Answer:

1968.85 meters

Explanation:

The Lifting condensation level (LCL) is defined as the height at which a parcel of air is completely saturated i.e the relative humidity of the air parcel reaches a 100%. All this must occur through dry adiabatic lifting.

At sea level, the pressure is given as 101.3kPa

air parcel temperature = 24°C

dew point temperature = 8°C

Using the LCL calculator, the pressure at which saturation occurs to the air parcel is 79.92KPa.

NB: LCL occurs through dry adiabatic lifting whereby the pressure on the air parcel reduces with height.

Using the hypsometric formula We can now convert the pressure into height

h = ((p1/p)^1/5257)-1 X (T + 273.15))/0.0065

where h= height, p1= Sea level pressure, p= atmospheric pressure, T = air temperature

h = ((101.3/79.92)^1/5257)-1 X (4+273.15))/0.0065 = 1968.85 meters

The response to Earth's rotation is
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: Polar wind

Explanation: Due to the earth's rotation, all bodies moving relative to the earth's rotation are deflected. Because the earth is spherical, the deflection is stronger at the pole than at the equator. Thus a phenomenon called polar wind due to the earth's rotation
