This this skew-T diagram shows several hypothetical lapse rates for a location at 1000 hPa and 0°C. For each lapse rate (labeled A-H), choose the term that most specifically describes the lapse rate.
A: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Autoconvective
B: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Superadiabatic
C: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Neutral (dry)
D: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Conditionally Unstable
E: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Neutral (moist)
F: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Stable
G: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Isothermal
H: Choose One Autoconvective Conditionally Unstable Inversion Isothermal Neutral (dry) Neutral (moist) Stable Superadiabatic
The correct answer is: Inversion
