Moisture in the Atmosphere. Assignment 3. Due January 23
Purpose: to become familiar with how to obtain thermodynamic variables from a Skew-T/log-p diagram.
- This assignment uses the sounding analyzed in Assignment 1 and the table of saturation vapor pressure as a function of temperature.
- Determine the following variables at: the surface, 850 mb, 800 mb, 750 mb, 700 mb, 600 mb, 500 mb, 300 mb.
- potential temperature (K)
- lifting condensation level (mb)
- temperature at the LCL (C)
- mixing ratio at the LCL (g/kg)
- wet bulb temperature (C)
- wet bulb potential temperature (K)
- equivalent temperature (C)
- equivalent potential temperature (K)
