1.)Rising unsaturated air cools at a rate of 9.8 C degrees per 1000 m ascent. Rising saturated air cools at a lower rate which varies with temperature, but an average cooling rate of 6 C degrees per 1000 m can be assumed. If the actual decrease in temperature with height in the atmosphere on a particular day is 8 C degrees per 1000 m, and a rising parcel would remain unsaturated, determine whether that atmosphere is stable or unstable. If the parcel were saturated, is the atmosphere stable or unstable? Explain how you made both determinations.


2.)Explain how converging surface winds can cause clouds to form
