Fill in the 5 missing values for the parcel temperature and parcel dew point temperature in the table above. The parcel temperature where the air pressure is 500 mb at an altitude of 5500 meters (marked by **) is TParcel in the lifted index calculation, LI = T500 - TParcel- In this example T500 is the temperature of the air surrounding the parcel (the atmospheric temperature) and is -20° C. Example, if you move the parcel upward from the ground and find that the parcel temperature at the 500 mb level (Tparce) is -30° C, then the lifted index would be LI = T500 - TParcel = -20° C - (-30° C) = +10°. Notice subtraction of a negative number. Table for Question 10. Asheville, NC, 3 PM. Notice the only difference from the table for question 8 is that the air temperature at altitudes nearest the ground is higher (warmer). Air Atmospheric Parcel Parcel Dew Point Altītude Pressure Temperature Temperature Temperature 500 mb 5500 meters ** -20° C 4500 meters -13° C -- 3500 meters -5° C -- 2500 meters 3° C -- 1500 meters 11° C 500 meters 20° C 20° C 0° C -- ** is TParcel in the lifted index calculation, LI = T500 - TParcel = -20 - (**).

Fill in the 5 missing values for the parcel temperature and parcel dew point temperature in the table above. The parcel temperature where the air pressure is 500 mb at an altitude of 5500 meters (marked by **) is TParcel in the lifted index calculation, LI = T500 - TParcel. In this %3D example T500 is the temperature of the air surrounding the parcel (the atmospheric temperature) and is -20° C. Example, if you move the parcel upward from the ground and find that the parcel temperature at the 500 mb level (Tparce) is -30° C, then the lifted index would be LI = T500 - TParcel =-20° C - (-30° C) = +10°. Notice subtraction of a negative %3D number. Table for Question 10. Asheville, NC, 3 PM.

You should fill in the stability tables above before answering these questions. The questions are based on the table for question 10. Questions. Please label your answers (a) - (d). (a) At what altitude does a cloud start to form in a lifted parcel? (At 3 PM) (b) What is the·lifted index? (At 3 PM) (c) Is the atmosphere stable or unstable for parcels lifted up to 500 mb? (At 3 PM) (d) What change took place in the atmosphere between 8 AM and 3 PM that caused the stability of the atmosphere to change? Explain the effect of this change on the stability of the atmosphere.
