1
New cards

Potential temp (theta) uses

compare air at different levels, rising/sinking parcels cling to isentropes (DA), theta and q are conserved.

2
New cards

Def of potential temp

the temp a parcel would have if brought to 1000mb

3
New cards

how to determine potential temp

move the parcel along a DA to the 1000mb line. the temp at that intersection = theta

4
New cards

def of equivalent PT theta e

the PT after all latent heat has been released. Higher moisture (Td) leads to higher theta e

5
New cards

uses

identifying theta e ridges, often burst points for convection, and to study chinook winds.

6
New cards

How to determine Equivalent PT (theta e)

  1. lift parcel to 200 mb, (where MA ends/becomes parallel to DA), 2. from that height follow a DA all the way back down to 1000mb
