What is the right option ?
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 15°C • The mountain summit is at 4000m
