Question
In this figure, and those that follow, the blue line between the temperature and dewpoint profiles represents the wet-bulb temperature profile.
Examine this skew-T diagram to answer the following.
How would you characterize the temperature lapse rate from the surface to 500 hPa? a) Stable b) Unstable c) Neutral
Are there any layers from 1000-500 hPa that exhibit POTENTIAL instability? a) Yes, 700-500 hPa b) Yes, 750-600 hPa c) Yes, 1000-750 hPa d) No, all layers are potentially stable.
