Evening all!
Moist air is less dense than dry air at the same temperature and pressure.
Why is it then that if moisture has been lost on top of a hill through precipitation then the cloudbase on the lee side will be higher than on the windward side?
If the top statement applies would this less moist air mass not be more dense and so the cloudbase be lower on the lee side?
Any feedback would be most appreciated!
Thanks for your time
Rams
