Please answer the questions attached in this image.   This is an assignment I'm doing for atmospheric physics.

 

5. Turbulent mixing homogenizes some quantities but not others. Give two examples of quantities
that are homogenized by turbulent mixing, and two examples of quantities that are not.
6. Define dry static energy (write down the equation for dry static energy and describe what the
terms in the expression represent). It is approximately conserved in processes that do not
involve phase changes. Explain how this can happen.
7. What is a "gravity wave" and how does one happen in the atmosphere?
