What is cooling of air expansion caused by?
adiabatic cooling
What type of fog usually forms on calm clear nights and results from the nightly cooling of the earth?
Radiation Fog
What is the name of cooling for a rising air parcel?
This is usually adiabatic cooling. Adiabatic refers to a process that does not exchange heat with the air around it. Air that is adiabatically cooled is cooled only because the decreasing pressure with height forces it to cool.
The wet adiabatic rate of cooling is less than the dry rate because?
of the release of latent heat
When air rises does it expand and cool adiabatically?
Yes. Adiabatic cooling occurs when there is a change in only pressure.
The fog that results from the nightly cooling of the earth is called?
radiation fog
What is adiabatic cooling?
Adiabatic cooling is cooling that occurs without removing any energy from the system. It often occurs when a gas is decompressed. Adiabatic heating and cooling play an important role in weather.
Adiabatic processes cause cooling by?
Adiabatic cools by decompression.

Radiation Fog
What is adiabotic cooling?
Adiabatic cooling deals with the cooling of parcels of air as they rise, or are forced up, through the atmosphere.
What is the rate of cooling as you increase in elevation?
The rate at which adiabatic cooling occurs with increasing altitude for wet air (air containing clouds or other visible forms of moisture) is called the wet adiabatic lapse rate, the moist adiabatic lapse rate, or the saturated adiabatic lapse rate.
Is temperature affected by elevation?
Yes. It is called adiabatic heating & cooling.
What is adiabatic heating and cooling?
Adiabatic cooling happens as air mass expands with increasing elevation (because density of gases decreases farther into the atmosphere). As elevation increases, the air gets cooler because energy is drawn from the surroundings. Less dense air traps less heat resulting in this net cooling called adiabatic cooling. It occurs at an average of 6 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters, but it can vary.
How is adiabatic cooling better than liquid cooling?
Adiabatic cooling happens when air cannot expand or compress. A liquid cooling system uses a special integrated pump, reservoir and a cold plate unit. The process for liquid cooling is long and complicated to fit in a small box. Check out Asetek where you can read the entire process and see a demonstration.

Changes in temperature that result from the cooling of rising air or the warming of sinking air are?
