On the windward side of the mountain, should the relative humidity of the parcel change as it rises from 3000 feet to 6000 feet? Why?
Assume that condensation begins at 100% relative humidity and that no evaporation takes place as the parcel descends.
No, With increased cooling as air rises, capacity decreases; condensation takes place and so the relative humidity stays at about 100%.
