(d) I is the environmental lapse rate, which measures the actual decrease in temperature with altitude. If I'd > > I'm, the environment is conditionally unstable. What does this mean? In other words, if a parcel is lifted adiabatically, how fast will it cool? 3. The dry adiabatic lapse rate, I'd≈1 K/100 m, and the moist (or saturated) adiabatic lapse rate, I'm depends on moisture content, but is approximated by I'm ≈0.5 K/100 m in the lower troposphere.

Note that when the relative humidity is 30%, the air temperature may be different than it is when the relative humidity is 40%. A. It is possible that at a relative humidity of 30% there is a smaller partial pressure of water vapor in the air than there is at a relative humidity of 40%. B. It is possible that there is the same partial pressure of water va- por in the air at 30% and at 40% relative humidity. C.

The atmosphere of the planet Mars is 95.3% carbon dioxide(CO2) and about 0.03% water vapor. The atmospheric pressure isonly about 600 Pa, and the surface temperature varies from -30C to-100C. The polar ice caps contain both CO2 ice and water ice. Couldthere be liquid CO2 on the surface of Mars? Could there be liquidwater? Why or why not?

The energy released from condensation in thunderstorms can be very large. Calculate the energy released into the atmosphere for a small storm of radius 1 km, assuming that 1.0 cm of rain is precipitated uniformlyover this area.
The Sun delivers radiant energy to Earth at a rate that averages approximately 1.3kW per square metre of the cross-sectional area of Earth. If we assume that all ofthis energy is absorbed by Earth (i.e., that Earth has an emissivity of one), at whatrate must Earth radiate energy if Earth’s temperature is to remain constant? Whatwould that constant temperature be? (Note: The actual temperature of Earth issomewhat higher due to the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere.)
Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from 1.59 m2 of 1219 ºC fresh lava into 21 ºC surroundings, assuming lava’s emissivity is 1.00. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
