An air parcel with a temperature of 3.7°C and a dewpoint temperature of 0.3°C in Whistler Village (elevation = 675m) is forced to rise over the Coast Mountains, reaching a peak elevation at Skihist Mountain of 2968m, before descending down into Lillooet, BC, where the elevation is 250m. Assume a MALR= 8.5°C/1000m. Calculate the following: A. The elevation of the lifting condensation level (LCL) B. The temperature of the air parcel atop Skihist Mountain (2968m) C. The temperature of the air parcel when it reaches Lillooet, BC (250m) Select one: a. A = 340m; B = 16.9°C; C = 27.1°C b. A = 1015m; B = -16.9°C; C = 10.3°C C. A = 675m; B = 16.6°C; C = -10.3°C
