please help! It is Weather and the Atmosphere

Shown above is a mountain with air flowing up the windward side and descending on the leeward side. The mountain is \( 3 \mat

Shown above is a mountain with air flowing up the windward side and descending on the leeward side. The mountain is 3km tall and your lifted air parcel finds itself saturated at 1km up the windward side of the mountain. This parcel will ascend saturated to the mountain top and then descend unsaturated to the leeward base at Point B.

Moist adiabatic lapse rate = 6C/km

Dry adiabatic lapse rate = 10C/km

Shown above is a mountain with air flowing up the windward side and descending on the leeward side. The mountain is tall and your lifted air parcel finds itself saturated at up the windward side of the mountain. This parcel will ascend saturated to the mountain top and then descend unsaturated to the leeward base at Point B. Moist adiabatic lapse rate Dry adiabatic lapse rate If the temperature and dewpoint of the saturated parcel at up the windward side are both equal to , then what will be the temperature of the parcel when it arrives at Point B? Your answer will be in units of Celsius but please don't include the units (e.g., enter 33 not 33C)

At 1 km up the windward side, the temperature and dew point of the parcel are both 16°C, which means that it is fully saturated. The saturation vapor
