Problem: You will trace the path of a hypothetical parcel as it moves over a mountain. You will first explain what would happen to the parcel (size, Ta, RH), how it changes as it ascends the windward side and descends the lee side, and what the parcel temperature would be at 1,000 m on the windward side. You are required to fully explain your calculations.
Prompt: For this assignment, you will trace the path of a hypothetical parcel as it moves over a mountain. You will assume the mountain base to be at sea level on both sides with a peak of 3,000 meters (m) and that the initial parcel conditions include a temperature of 10 °Celsius and a lifting condensation level (LCL) of 1,000 m. Be sure to provide a written explanation of all your calculations.
