Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If the environmental lapse rate at a certain location is measured multiple times during the day and averages 7°C/km, how would this influence afternoon pollutants dispersal compared to morning when it's averaging 5°C/km?
💡 Hint: Consider the implications of air temperature change over time.
Given that pollutants are most concentrated near the ground level during stable conditions, propose an air quality management strategy to address this issue.
💡 Hint: Think about how stability affects air quality and how management actions can mitigate effects.
