Increases the outgoing radiation. Increases the specific heat. Uses energy to change the phase of water instead of warming it. If unsaturated air at 20 C were to rise, what would the temperature of this air be at 500 meters if the dry adiabatic rate is 1 C per 100 meters and the wet adiabatic rate is 0.5 C per 100 meters. They are equal.
Dew point exceeds air temperature.
The conditions that persist along the West Coast of the U.S. that are conducive to fog formation are a. moist air moving over a cold surface.
