Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a city that frequently experiences temperature inversions in winter. Predict the effects on local air quality, and suggest mitigation strategies.
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between temperature inversions and pollution.
You have temperature data showing a dry adiabatic lapse rate of -9.8°C/km in an area. If you release a pollutant at 300K at ground level, at what altitude will the pollutant cool to match the environmental temperature of 295K?
💡 Hint: Consider how the lapse rate relates to temperature change with altitude.
