Suppose the Surface Air Temperature Is C

question 54

Multiple Choice

Suppose the surface air temperature is 29C. If the base of a cumulus congestus cloud directly above you is 2000 metres, what is the approximate temperature at an altitude of 5000 metres inside the cloud? (Assume the dry adiabatic rate is 1011efbc95_3126_a591_ad5f_1348e684797a_TB1378_00C per 1000 metres, and the moist adiabatic rate is 611efbc95_3126_a591_ad5f_1348e684797a_TB1378_00C per 1000 metres)

• A)-13C
• B)-9C
