Question

A parcel o f air is at the surface on the west side of a mountain. The surface is at 1 km above sea level. The air parcel has a temperature of 20 Degree C and is unsaturated. The parcel is forced over a mountain with an elevation at the top of 3 km above sea level. The dew point temperature of the parcel is 10 Degree C. Assume a moist adiabatic lapse rate of 8 Degree C/km and that the dew point temperature does not change with height. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is 10 Degree C/km. What is the temperature of the parcel at the top of the mountain? -10 deg C 0 deg C 2 deg C 4 deg C
