1. Suppose the following atmospheric altitude versus temperature data have been collected Altitude (m) 0 75 150 225 300 375 450 525 600 675 750 Temperature C) 25 26 27 28 26 24 21 19 17 16 14 a) Plot a graph of the data. How high would you expect a plume to rise if it is emitted at 26C from a) ground level and b) a 200 m stack? Assume that its rises at the dry adiabatic lapse rate. (Hint: plot the dry adiabatic lapse rate from an elevation of 200 m to represent the stack and compare with the ambient lapse rate) [10 marks] b) Identify the inversion zone on the graph drawn. Determine the maximum elevation of the [5 marks] c) Where would you have a zone of turbulent mixing? [5 marks) inversion
