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).

Transcribed Image Text: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
