Question 1

1 / 1 pts

A parcel of air is forced to rise over a 4000-meter high mountain.  The initial temperature of the parcel at sea level is 19°C and the lifting condensation level (LCL) is 3000 meters.

The Dry Adiabatic Rate (DAR) is 10°C/1000 m and the Saturated Adiabatic Rate (SAR) is 6°C/1000 m.
