📈(10/5 & 10/7) Screw Ts I & II

I call them screw-T log ps rather than Skew-Ts, because they be screwing up my GPA, as well as my sanity...🫩📊

MALR / Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate, green curves on a Skew-T, varies between 4C/km & 10C/km.

what is this, you may ask?

this is the (TTTT) or (term term term term); represented as (color terms on a Skew-T), it (varies between ###units & ###units).

DALR, dry adiabatic lapse rate, orange curves on a Skew-T, remains constant at 10C/km

you may be wondering, as I am — what in the heckles is this?

this is the (TTTT), or (term term term term); represented as (color terms on a Skew-T), it (remains constant at ###units).

Mixing ratio: blue dotted lines on a Skew-T, measure of moisture. Actual mixing ratio: use dew point temperature, pressure/isobars. Saturated mixing ratio: use temperature, pressure/isobars.

what in the holy bejesus is this, you may ask?

This is the (TERM TERM:); represented as (color pattern terms on a Skew-T), it is a (measure of term). To find the (Actual term term: use) the (term term term) and (term/termbars). To find the (saturated term term: use) the (term) and (term/isobars).

isotherms: they measure temperature, diagonal orange lines of constant temperature, skewed right, x-axis.

these guys are called (terms:) and (they measure term). They are ( direction color lines of term term) that are (termed right) and run on the length of the (letter-term).

black horizontal lines, isobars, lines of constant pressure, decrease with height, spaced closer at the bottom than at the top, y-axis.

these (color direction terms) are called (term) and they are (terms of constant term) that (term with height). They are (spaced termer at the bottom than at the term) and located along the (letter-term).

thermodynamic diagram, area is proportional to energy

a chart or graph that presents the relationship among pressure, temperature, and water content under typical atmospheric conditions. (Area is proportional to TERM).

lifting condensation level, cloud base

abbreviated as LCL, this is the level at which a parcel of unsaturated air becomes saturated and condenses when lifted upward. Also forms the (term term).

dew point depression

DD= T-Td, the difference between the dry air temperature (T) and the dew point temperature (Td). Gives a rough measure of relative humidity.

Cloudy layer — Atmospheric layer at or near 100% relative humidity. Clouds are likely to exist when the dew point depression is less than or equal to 5C, and the likelihood of cloud formation increases once the dew point depression reaches 0C.

(Termy term— Atmospheric layer at or near ###% relative term). (Clouds are likely to exist when the dew point depression is term than or term to ###unit), and the likelihood of cloud formation increases once the dew point depression reaches ###unit).

radiation inversion, almost always in contact with the surface

(Term term) — a type of inversion where the air near the surface cools due to the emission of longwave radiation overnight. These are (almost always term term with the term).

frontal inversion, may or may not be connected to the surface

(term term) — a type of inversion caused by the advance of warm or cold air associated with the movement of a weather front into an area. The edge of the advancing air mass is often noted with an inversion. (May or may not be termed to the term).

subsidence inversion, subsidence, located away from the surface

(Term term) — inversion caused by the sinking, or (Term), and warming of an entire layer of air. These are (located term from the surface).

stratospheric inversion, tropopause, height of the tropopause or transition layer is usually noted by the base of the stratospheric inversion.

(term term) — the stratosphere warms with height due to the absorption of shortwave ultraviolet energy by ozone gas. The transition from the troposphere to the stratosphere is called the (term), (the height of the term or transition layer is usually noted by the term of the term inversion).
