Problem 1: Calculate the pseudoadiabatic lapse rate for clouds undergoing entrainment when the pressure is 70.0 kPa. The temperature inside the cloud is 273K, the relative humidity of the environment is 67%. and the initial cloud mass is 100kg. Calculate the lapse rate for the following entrainment rates given the temperature outside the cloud is 272K.
- 10 kg/km
- 25 kg/km
- 50 kg/km
- 100 kg/km
Problem 2: Calculate the pseudoadiabatic lapse rate without entrainment for this cloud mass.
Problem 3: From (1) and (2), how does entrainment affect the lapse rate inside of a cloud?
