If the average normal temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere is 6.5 °C/km, calculate the approximate temperature at 6 km if the surface temperature is 16 °C.
Lapse rate = 0.005645 degC/m
gz - Lvqi = 302525 J/kg and a total specific humidity qt = qv+qi= 16.2 g/kg. Determine its temperature T, water vapor and liquid water specific humidities. Note that in saturated air qv = qsat. Compare the virtual temperature in the cloud with the mean state. Which has the smallest air density?
Explain how hail forms? You need to understand that the middle part of a cumulonimbus cloud, where the air temperature is between -40° C and 0° C, there exists a combination of ice and supercooled liquid water droplets, which are cloud droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is below the normal freezing point of liquid water. This should be part of your explanation. How large can hail get? Why are strong updrafts necessary to produce extremely large hail?
