1
Masses of air are rapidly moved by winds and convection Change in temperature with elevation (Application of adiabatic changes of states) adiabatic processes adiabatic expansion Work done on the surrounding air reduction of internal energy reduction of temperature We are going to show the experimental fact that temperature drops by 10K/km
2
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics! Sub Zero Freezing Temperatures and Super Cell Storms
3
h Mass of the air contained in the volume element hh A air in good approximation considered as an ideal gas
4
Const. Air transport adiabaticwith Note: P=P(h) and T=T(h) With
