Meteorology Orographic Lifting and Adiabatic Processes Spring 2021 1. Consider an air parcel that is being forced over a tall mountain range as shown in the sketch below. Assume the temperature of the air parcel at 1000m altitude on the left (windward) side of tihe mountain is 30°C, an approximate dry adiabatic lapse rate (DLR) of 10°C/1000m. 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 30°C Sea level Complete the following table by determining the temperature on the windward and leeward sides of the above mountain range. Assume that the air mass never reaches the dew-point as it ascends or descends. Temperature (°C) Altitude (Windward Side) (m) Temperature (°C) Altitude (Windward Side) (m) 4000 1000 3000 2000 2000 3000 1000 4000 0 (sea level) Elevation (m)
