- An air parcel with a surface temperature of 16°C (@ 0 m) is forced to rise to over a 3800-m mountain. The LCL is located at 1800 m. Given the DALR of 10°C/1000m and a MALR of 6.4°C/1000m, calculate the dew point temperature and the air parcel’s temperature at the peak.
- If all condensed moisture fell out as precipitation on the windward side of the mountain, what is the temperature be at 0 m on the lee side?

Expert Answer
Given data: Temperature of air parcel at surface(@ 0m) = 16°C LCL(lifting condensation level) is located at = 1800 m DALR = 10°C/1000m MALR = 6.4°C/1000m ***** Dew point temperature = Initial temperature - (
