QUESTION: If the temperature at sea level is 10°C, and the saturation elevation is 1000m (dew point) on the windward side of the mountain, and 3000m on the lee side, what is the temperature at 1000m on the lee side of the mountain? Keep in mind the air parcel travelled over the mountain. O 9°C O 2°C O 13°C O 8°C O-5°C O 0°C

Windward Side Lee Side 4000 m- 3000 m 2000 m 1000 m- 0m- Consider the relationship between air temperature and altitude to work through the question. KNOWNS: • On the windward (left side) of the mountains, the air mass is saturated starting at 1000m and above • On the lee side of the mountain (right side), the air is saturated starting at 3000m and above • Air temperature at sea level (on the windward side) is 10°C • The mountain summit is at 4000m
