Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the mixing height if the environmental lapse rate is 5°C/km and the adiabatic lapse rate is 9.8°C/km.

💡 Hint: Think about where the two lapse rates equalize.

Question 2

Given a scenario where pollutants are emitted from a source located below the mean mixing height, discuss the expected plume behavior and potential environmental implications.

💡 Hint: Consider the effects of inversion and atmospheric stability.
