2. (a) Derive an expression for the density p that results when an air parcel initially
at pressure p, and density p, expands adiabatically to pressure p. [~ Holton
2.6]
(b) An air parcel that has a temperature of 20°C at the 1000-hPa level is lifted
dry adiabatically. What is its density when it reaches the 500-hPa level? [~
Holton 2.7]
