Question Details

 Air at a temperature of 20 oC and a mixing ratio of 10 g kg-1 is lifted 1000 to 700 mb by moving over a mountain. What is the initial dew point temperature of the air? Determine the temperature of the air after it has descended to 900 mb on the other side of the mountain if 80% of the condensed water vapor is removed by precipitation during ascent. Use the skew-T – ln p chart to show how you worked this problem.
