2. Consider the same air mass in question 1 and the following additional conditions including a saturated adiabatic lapse (SALR) rate of 6°C/1000m and a specific humidity of 7.6g/kg for rising air parcel on the windward side. 5000 4000 3000 bimu 2000 1000 30°C Sea level With the given specific humidity for the air parcel, what would be the dew point temperature of this air parcel? i. Complete the following table by determining the temperature on the windward and leeward sides of the above mountain range. Remember that if the air mass reaches dew- point at some altitude, adiabatic cooling rate will switch to SALR. ii.
