Question 1

What is the typical value of the dry adiabatic lapse rate?

  • 6.5°C/km
  • 9.8°C/km
  • 5.2°C/km

💡 Hint: Recall the standard value for dry air.

Question 2

True or False: In neutral atmospheric conditions, pollutants will rise indefinitely.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what neutral conditions imply for air movement.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
