fill in the blanks for the air temperature and dew point at each height on the windward and leeward sides of the mountain. At the base of the windward side of the mountain, the temperature is 22C and the dew point temperature is 10C. Assume that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is 6C per km. As air sinks on the leeward side of the mountain, assume that the temperature increases at the dry adiabatic lapse rate and its dew point temperature increases at 2C per km. Also, notice that the height increments are different on the windward and leeward side.
Windward side of the mountain:
Height: 2500m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 2000m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 1500m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 1000m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 500m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 0m ; Temp = 22C ; Dew Point = 10C
Leeward side of the mountain:
Height: 2000m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 1000m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
Height: 0m ; Temp = C ; Dew Point = C
