Consider two sides of town that at dawn are at the same temperature (T1=T2) and pressure (p1=p2). Neighborhood 1 has few green spaces and much asphalt, while neighborhood 2 has plenty of well watered lawns. Air column 1 Air column 2 a. It's a sunny day. Which neighborhood will warm up faster? Why?

Question
Consider two sides of town that at dawn are at the same temperature (T1=T2) and pressure (p1=p2). Neighborhood 1 has few green spaces and much asphalt, while neighborhood 2 has plenty of well watered lawns. Air column 1 Air column 2 a. It's a sunny day. Which neighborhood will warm up faster? Why? b. After some time, the columns of air have warmed up and are in equilibrium with the respective surfaces. Sketch the height of the two columns of air assuming that no circulation has yet developed (each has the same mass of air as at dawn). Are they taller than at dawn? Are they still of the same height? (explain your reasoning in a sentence) Additionally, sketch the slope of the isobars at the surface, at the top atmosphere, and in the middle point between the two. At each level, sketch the direction of the pressure gradient force in the space between the neighborhoods. If there is no pressure gradient force, mark it with an x. the 00
