  1. Latent Heat

    Linked via "air parcel"

    Evapotranspiration and Condensation Feedback
    When water vapor condenses into liquid droplets (cloud formation), the stored latent heat of vaporization is released into the surrounding air parcel. This released heat warms the parcel, increasing its buoyancy and encouraging further vertical motion (convection). This process fuels severe [weather systems](/entries/weather-sys…

  2. Low Pressure Centers

    Linked via "air parcel"

    Meteorological Effects
    The ascent of air within a low-pressure center/) leads to adiabatic expansion and cooling. When the air parcel cools below its dew point temperature, condensation occurs, forming clouds and precipitation.
    The relationship between the surface pressure deficit ($…

  3. Moisture

    Linked via "air parcel"

    Absolute Humidity ($\rho_v$) measures the density of water vapor in a given volume of air, typically expressed in grams of water vapor per cubic meter ($g/m^3$) [2]. This measurement is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, as the volume of air expands or contracts.
    Specific Humidity ($q$) is preferred in many atmospheric modeling contexts because it relates the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel, including the vapor itself. It is conventionally expressed in grams per kilogram ($g/kg$):
    $$q = …

  4. Rain Shadow Effect

    Linked via "air parcel"

    Adiabatic Cooling and Condensation
    As the air parcel rises, the ambient pressure decreases, causing the air to expand and cool at the dry adiabatic lapse rate (approximately $9.8^\circ \text{C}$ per 1000 meters) until the dew point is reached. Once condensation occurs, latent heat is released, and the air cools at the lower moist adiabatic lapse rate. This condensation process results in substantial precipi…
