Front

Which storm likely had more rainfall in Chateh last month?
- Storm 1: Surface temperature before storm was 19°C.
- Storm 2: Surface temperature before storm was 28°C.

Back

Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

Front

Air Parcel 1 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 2 is at the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air Parcel 1 and Air Parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them. Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

Back

Air Parcel 1 will lose more energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

Front

When does energy stop transferring out of an air parcel?

Back

When the air parcel is the SAME as the surrounding air.
