When the pressure of dry air changes, its temperature also changes (by “dry air,” the meaning is no clouds or fog). Changes in altitude equate to changes in air pressure. When a parcel of air rises, ...

ABSTRACT Distributed glacier surface melt models are often forced using air temperature fields that are either downscaled from climate models or reanalysis, or extrapolated from station measurements.

When dry air (meaning no clouds) changes pressure, it also changes temperature. If you have ever filled a bicycle tire, you may have noticed the more air you pump into the tire, the warmer the valve ...

Have you ever been hiking and noticed that the air gets cooler as you ascend? Or mountain bike down a mountain and realize the temperature is much warmer at the bottom? This is adiabatic cooling. The ...

The difference is between dry and wet adiabatic lapse rates. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which dry air cools as it rises (or warms as it descends): a loss of 5.4 degrees per thousand ...
