Unraveling the Tropospheric Mystery: Analyzing the Contradiction Between Potential Temperature and Adiabatic Processes in Earth’s Atmosphere
Weather & ForecastsGetting Started The relationship between potential temperature and altitude in the troposphere has long been a subject of interest and debate in the geosciences. The adiabatic nature of processes within the troposphere suggests that as air rises or descends, it should experience temperature changes in accordance with the adiabatic lapse rate. However, the observed data
