How do you use the dry adiabatic rate of 10 degrees Celsius per kilometer to determine the air temp. on the windward side of the mountains at altitude of 500 meters?
Saturated (moist) air will warm and cool approximately 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit per 1,000 feet of elevation gained or lost. Dry air will warm and cool approximately 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit per 1,000 feet of elevation gained or lost. ChaCha!
