At the lifting condensation level: 1500 m (see problem #18 for details). Question #20 How do the sea-level temperature and dew point on the leeward side compare with the sea-level tem- perature and dew point on the windward side? On the leeward side, the temperature is higher and the dew point is lower. Question #21 Which side of the mountain is more often cloudy and which side is more often clear? The windward side will tend to be cloudy and the leeward side will tend to be clear. Question #22 What is the lifting condensation level in this example? At sea level, the temperature is 31 ◦ C and the dew point is 23 ◦ C . The temperature diﬀerence is 31 ◦ C - 23 ◦ C = 8 ◦ C . We ﬁnd the lifting condensation level as we did in Questions #18–19: 8 ◦ C 8 ◦ C / km = 1 . 0 km so the lifting condensation level is 1000 m above sea level. Question #23 Enter the correct parcel temperatures and parcel dew points to complete Table 7-3 (assume that the WALR = 5 ◦ C / km). Question # 19 –Question # 23 –6 of 8 – J.M.
