Atmospheric stability is described in terms of the effects of the environment on vertical motion. The following data shows the variation of atmospheric temperature with heights: Height (m) Temperature (°C) 25 250 20 500 15 750 10 1000 5 (i). Determine the stability condition of the atmosphere. (ii). Describe the meteorological conditions that lead to the formation of the above temperature profile and its effect on the dispersion of air pollutants.
