Question

The dry adiabatic rate, characterized by rising unsaturated air, can be expressed as a temperature change of _____ Celsius for every 1000 meters (note, using the metric system).

Answer 1

Answer:

10 °C

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the atmospheric conditions, unsaturated air cools at a constant rate of 10 °C per 1000 meters of ascent, meanwhile saturated air cools at a slower rate above the lifting condensation level due to the release of latent heat for the wet adiabatic rate.

Best regards.
