,Suppose a parcel of air at the surface has a temperature of 50 ° F with a dewpoint of
30 ° F. As it begins to rain heavily into the parcel, what is the wet-bulb temperature
most likely to be after complete evaporational cooling?

One saturated air parcel with a temperature of 10 ° C has a saturation mixing ratio of 7
grams per kilogram; A second air parcel with a temperature of 20 ° C has a saturation
mixing ratio of 14 grams per kilogram; From this information, what is the most likely
saturation mixing ratio of a parcel of air at 30 ° C? Warmer air holds exponentially
more water vapor, therefore the temperature/saturation mixing ratio relationship is not
linear.

Why do bridges and over passes usually ice up before other roads?
a. Bridges and overpassess are more exposed to the air and thus cool more quickly
b. Surface frictional warming between tires and the road is less on bridges and
overpasses
