of unsaturated air. d. The cooling rate of saturated air is called the Si nggxggfi d! adiabatic lapse rate. (SALR) e. TheSALR = 30.? “000 The temperature and dew point in a rising, saturated parcel of air are equal (above the
LCL). If temperature = dew point, what is the relative humidity? 313 5 %3 fl} Q 'flm Ens
A cloud whose base is at the ground is called 3 S {g . W Generally forms at night under the following conditions: 0. air in contact with ground cools by S L )3 X 35 5g i 5 Bag) Is the cooling leading to radiation fog a diabatic or an adiabatic process? all GubCkHC/ W bow is tiny beads of liquid water that form on objects primarily at night. The ground cools
by . The air cools by Frost forms under similar conditions as dew but saturation occurs when the dew point
temperatureis below . Frost forms as a result of a phase change called Qegjntmm . . [0126/09 8:20 AM ___._-u4~t_J ...
