If air cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 10 °C/Km. and once the Lifting condensation level is reached, cools at the moist adiabatic lapse rate (6 °C/Km) What will the temperature be at 4000m? Once air begins sinking down the far side of the mountain it warms at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 10 °C/Km. What is the Temperature at Om on the far side?
