The difference between the dry adiabatic rate and the moist adiabatic rate is on account of latent heat is released in a rising parcel of saturated air
1- What is an adiabatic process?
2- Why are moist and dry adiabatic rates of cooling different?
3- Under what conditions would the moist adiabatic rate of cooling be almost equal to the dry adiabatic rate?
4- Explain the difference between environmental lapse rate and dry adiabatic rate?
5- How would one normally obtain the environmental lapse rate?
6- What is a stable atmosphere and how can it form?
7- Describe the general characteristics of cloud associated with stable and unstable atmospheres?
8- List and explain several processes by which a stable atmosphere can be made unstable?
9- If the atmosphere is conditionally unstable, What condition is necessary to bring on instability?
10- Why are cumulus clouds more frequently observed during the afternoon than at night?
11- Explain why rain shadows form on the leeward side of mountains?
