Topics include physical states of water, humidity, adiabatic processes, cloud classification and precipitation. While these topics may appear to be disparate, you will learn how they are inherently related.The modules start with four opening topics, or vignettes, which are found in the accompanying Google Earth file. These vignettes introduce basic concepts related to atmospheric moisture. Some of the vignettes have animations, videos, or short articles that will provide another perspective or visual explanation for the topic at hand. After reading the vignette and associated links, answer the following questions. Please note that some components of this lab may take a while to download or open, especially if you have a slow internet connection.Expand the ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE folder and then expand the INTRODUCTION folder.Read Topic 1: The Physical States of Water.Question 1: Explain how this statement is false: Heat is temperature.A.

When we speak colloquially about humidity, we are usually referring to relative humidity. For example, on some hot summer days, the air may feel sticky and we say the (relative) humidity is high. Conversely, on cold winter days, the air may feel dry and we say the (relative) humidity is low.We can use a simple device called sling psychrometer to measure the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb temperature. The dry bulb temperature is the ambient air temperature, and is measured using a regular thermometer. The wet bulb temperature, however, is the temperature measured by covering the end of a thermometer in a wet cotton sleeve and then whirling it around to evaporate some water from the sleeve. Since evaporation is a cooling process, the wet bulb thermometer will record a lower reading than the dry bulb thermometer as long as the surrounding air is not saturated. By comparing the temperature between the two thermometer readings, and then looking up the values in Table 1, we can determine (sometimes by way of interpolation) the relative humidity.For example:1. Assume that the dry bulb temperature is 26°C, and the wet bulb temperature is 16°C.2. With these two temperatures, use the following formula to calculate the wet bulb depression by subtracting the wet bulb temperature from the dry bulb temperature: 26°C – 16°C = 10°C3. Refer to Table 1 to determine the relative humidity; in this case, the relative humidity (RH) is 34 percent (34%).7Table 1. Table 1.

This process is known as adiabatic cooling.10Conversely, as a parcel of air descends, its pressure increases (the parcel compresses) and it warms. This process is known as adiabatic warming. These changes in temperature are a result of changes in pressure within the air parcel itself, with an expanding parcel promoting a decrease in temperature (cooling) and a compressing air parcel promoting an increase in temperature (warming).When the relative humidity (RH) of a rising parcel of air is less than 100% (meaning it is not saturated), the parcel cools at the dry adiabatic rate (DAR), which is approximately 1°C/100m. Likewise, a descending air parcel that is not saturated warms at the same DAR.For example, imagine a rising parcel of air with a temperature of 15˚C and an RH of 60%. If the parcel rises 400 meters in elevation, its temperature will be 11˚C. In other words, the air parcel cools 1˚C for every 100m increase in elevation, thereby cooling 4˚C.Thing are different, however, if the RH of an air parcel is 100% (i.e. the air parcel is saturated). When the RH is 100%, the air parcel cools at the wet adiabatic rate (WAR), which is approximately 0.5°C/100m. The WAR is not as great as the DAR because latent heat of condensation (the energy when water vapor condenses to a liquid) is released.For example, the temperature of a rising saturated parcel of air is 18°C. If this parcel continues to rise another 1000 meters in elevation, its temperature will be 13°C. In other words, the air parcel cools 0.5˚C for every 100m increase in elevation, thereby cooling 5˚C.Click ADIABATIC PROCESSES to watch the video.For the following questions, use the following air parcel conditions:An unsaturated parcel of air with a temperature of 20˚C rises 1200m to the condensation level and then continues to rise saturated for another 600m.Question 20: What is the temperature of the parcel when it becomes saturated?A. 32˚CB. 8˚C11C. 5˚CD. 14˚CQuestion 21: What is the temperature of the parcel when it stops rising?A. 32˚CB. 8˚CC. 5˚CD. 14˚CThe unsaturated air parcel then descends 1800m back to its original elevation.Question 22: What is the temperature of the parcel once it has descended to its original elevation?A. 40˚CB. 23˚CC. 14˚CD. 20˚CQuestion 23: When the air parcel completes its decent at its original elevation, how does this ending temperature compare to the starting temperature?A.

There are three cloud classes based on form: cirrus, cumulus and stratus.● Cirrus clouds are wispy, thin clouds comprised of ice crystals.● Cumulus clouds have distinct puffy shapes with flat bases formed at the condensation level.● Stratus clouds are gray sheet like clouds covering most of the sky.Clouds are further classified according to their altitude.● High clouds are found over 6km (20,000 ft.) in the atmosphere12● Middle clouds are between 2.5km and 6km (6,500 ft. to 20,000 ft.).● Low clouds are those less than 2.5km.Click CLOUD CLASSIFICATION.Use the animation to identify characteristics of cloud types and to complete the table below.

Once the water droplets or ice crystals become large enough to fall under the force of gravity, precipitation occurs. In order for this occur, air must rise such that sufficient condensation takes place. This required lifting of an air parcel commonly happens in one of many ways, including convectional uplift, orographic uplift, frontal uplift, and convergent (cyclonic) uplift. We will cover the first two in this module as they showcase the processes associated with adiabatic cooling. To note, geography plays an important role in precipitation (or lack thereof), as certain geographic areas are more inclined to produce a particular type of uplift.13Convectional upliftConvectional uplift occurs when a parcel of air within a larger stable air mass is heated by the hot ground and rises. When this parcel rises above the condensation level, cumulus clouds tend to form. In many cases these clouds will drift along with the wind and eventually dissipate, producing no rain. But in some cases the air is unstable and strong convectional uplift occurs. Cumulonimbus clouds often form, producing rainfall and in more severe cases, thunderstorms develop. While convectional uplift and associated precipitation can occur almost anywhere over land, there are certain places where this uplift is more common. For example, the Great Plains region in the United States commonly experiences this type of uplift during the summer months, which produces rainstorms in the afternoon. Equatorial regions where solar insolation is intense are subjected to precipitation from conventional uplift.Click Convectional Rainfall and watch the video.Question 31: True or False: Convectional uplift goes through the process of adiabatic cooling.A. TrueB. FalseOrographic upliftOrographic uplift is caused by mountains which force an air parcel upwards as the air flows. As the parcel rises, the air pressure decreases, causing the parcel to expand and the air temperature to decrease. When the parcel reaches the condensation level, clouds form, and in some cases, precipitation occurs. After the parcel has cleared the mountains, it descends and the air is compressed, leading to an increase in temperature. This drier, warmer parcel creates a rainshadow on the leeward side of mountain ranges. This type of rainfall is common along the mountain ranges near the Pacific Ocean as well as oceanic islands such as Hawai’i and New Zealand.Click Orographic Processes and watch the video on Orographic Uplift.

At the end of chapter 4, Sinclair sends a painting of the sparrow hawk to Demian after having a dream. Sinclair does not write his name or anything for anyone to recognize himself. But Demian sends a letter back to Sinclair nonetheless.

My point is, why didn’t Sinclair write his name on the letter?
