Use the following information to answer questions 1-3. Consider two parcels of air, A and B. Parcel A has
a temperature of 30 C̊ and a dew point temperature of 20 C
̊ while parcel B has a temperature of 18 C ̊
and a dew point temperature of 15 C̊ ?
Which parcel has more water vapor in it? (Hint: it's the one with the larger e∨a) - Parcel A
Which parcel would have more water vapor in it? (Hint: it's the one with the larger e∨s) - Parcel A
Which parcel is closer to saturation? (Hint it's the one with the larger RH) - Parcel B
Fill the blanks. A rising parcel of saturated air cools off ____ than an unsaturated air parcel because ____
is ____ the air as it rises? - Slower, condensation, warming
Fill in the blanks. __________ is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of greenhouse effect even
though it resides in the atmosphere for only __________on average. This is largely due to the fact that
the concentration in the atmosphere is typically _________ compared to CO2 and __________ than CH4
and N2O which have __________ Global Warming Potential than water vapor and CO2. - Water vapor, 1
x 10¹ days, 50 times greater, several orders of magnitude more, several times greater
Mountains have no effect on the climate around the clouds and wind can just blow around them. - False
The relationship between temperature and saturation vapor pressure is what type of relationship? -
Exponential
If 3 kg of water were evaporated how much cooling would there be in kj? (hint: latent heat of
vaporization = 2442 kj/kg) - 2442 kj/kg * 3 kg = 7326 kj
If a parcel rising through the same vertical portion of the atmosphere is cooling at 9°C/km, will the
parcel continue to rise? - No, the parcel will be cooler than the air around it
