Calculate the temperature of the parcel at the following elevations as it rises up the windward side of the mountain.
Assume that a parcel of air is forced to rise up and over a 6000-foot-high mountain (as shown). The initial temperature of the parcel at sea level is 76.5°F, and the lifting condensation level (LCL) of the parcel is 3000 feet. The DAR is 5.5°F>1000 feet and the SAR is 3.3°F>1000 feet. Assume that condensation begins at 100% relative humidity and that no evaporation takes place as the parcel descends. Indicate calculated temperatures to 1 decimal place.
(a) 1000 feet _________ °F
(b) 3000 feet _________ °F
(c) 6000 feet ________ °F
