Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a case where the potential temperature shows a decrease with altitude in terms of atmospheric stability. What would be the implications for weather conditions?
💡 Hint: Consider how instability influences vertical air motion.
Question 2
Create a scenario where an air parcel at 500 hPa with a temperature of 280K ascends to 1000 hPa. Calculate the potential temperature using R=287 J/(kg K) and Cp=1005 J/(kg K).
💡 Hint: Plug in the values correctly into the formula!
