Saturated air is forced down the leeward side of a mountain. On its way down, the air undergoes warming because of compression. What is the rate at which the air will heat up?
A) 20C per 1,000m of descent (11F per 1,000ft of descent)
B) 10C per 1,000m of descent (5.5F per 1,000ft of descent)
C) 6C per 1,000m of descent
D) 1C per 1,000m of descent

A) supercooling
B) the dry adiabatic lapse rate
C) the wet adiabatic lapse rate
D) the dew point
E) the latent heat of condensation
