Discussion
Which quantity does the adiabatic method use to infer vertical motion?
Answer: D
For adiabatic motion the thermodynamic equation relates the vertical velocity to the difference between the observed local temperature change and the change explained by horizontal advection. Where the observed cooling exceeds the advective cooling, ascent must be responsible. The method fails wherever latent heat release or radiation is significant, which limits its usefulness in precisely the situations of greatest interest. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
