2. Lapse rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate

   It varies with the temperature and pressure of the parcel and is often in the range 3.6 to 9.2 °C/km (2 to 5 °F/1000 ft), as obtained from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The environmental lapse rate is the decrease in temperature of air with altitude for a specific time and place (see below). It can be highly variable ...

3. Equivalent potential temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_potential...

   So cool air lying on top of warm air can be stable, as long as the temperature decrease with height is less than the adiabatic lapse rate; the dynamically important quantity is not the temperature, but the potential temperature—the temperature the air would have if it were brought adiabatically to a reference pressure. The air around the ...

4. Stack effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

   There is a pressure difference between the outside air and the air inside the building caused by the difference in temperature between the outside air and the inside air. That pressure difference ( ΔP ) is the driving force for the stack effect and it can be calculated with the equations presented below.

   But there are plenty of ways to give your air conditioner less to do. Use a programmable or smart thermostat. Raise the temps to 78-82 or more while you're at work, away or during the night (if ...

6. Lifting condensation level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_condensation_level

   The RH of air increases when it is cooled, since the amount of water vapor in the air (i.e. its specific humidity) remains constant, while the saturation vapor pressure decreases almost exponentially with decreasing temperature. If the air parcel is lifting further beyond the LCL, water vapor in the air parcel will begin condensing, forming ...

7. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

   Pressure as a function of the height above the sea level. There are two equations for computing pressure as a function of height. The first equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed to vary with altitude at a non null lapse rate of : = [,, ()] ′, The second equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed not to ...
