Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 11E
Consider air parcel A, which is 28°C at the surface. It is forced to rise to 5 km. The lifting condensation level is 1.5 km, above which the parcel cools at an average wet adiabatic lapse rate of 5°C per kilometer. Fill in the left column of Table 6-2 indicating the parcel’s changing temperature.
