Struggling a bit with this one.I think I get the principle but whenever I see an example I always seem to get the wrong answer.
Question on Airquiz:
Air at +19C at sea level and dew point of +3C rises 4000ft over a mountain.What is the air temp at 2000ft on the leeward side?
Correct answer is 16C
How so?
