adiabatic cooling Correct Answer-the cooling effect of reduced pressure on air as it rises higher in the atmosphere and expands. adiabatic warming Correct Answer-air descends and is compressed by higher air pressure in the lower atmosphere (E.g., Warmed) adiabatic processes are? Correct Answer-A thermodynamic process where there is no heat transfer (E.g., No radiative warming). lapse rates Correct Answer-The rate of decrease of temperature with height with a parcel of air in the troposp...

WX 201 Exam 2 with correct Answers (Graded A) ____ is a condition in which the environmental lapse rate is equal to the dry adiabatic rate. Neutral stability The rate at which the actual air temperature changes with increasing height above the surface is referred to as the ____ rate. environmental lapse Absolute instability results when the environmental lapse rate is ____ the ____ adiabatic rate. greater than; dry An air parcel in an unstable atmosphere has ____ force acting ...

GEOG 1900 Final Exam with Complete Solutions The forces involved in surface winds and in geostrophic winds Eddy viscosity Geostrophic winds Eddy viscosity Friction associated with the dissipation of kinetic energy due to eddies. The rougher the surface, the greater the eddy viscosity. The eddy viscosity decays rapidly with the height above the Earth's surface so that the horizontal winds strengthen with the height. Geostrophic winds upper-level winds (the balance between the horizonta...
