Discussion
Which of the following is not conserved for saturated adiabatic ascent?
Potential temperature
Equivalent potential temperature
Wet bulb potential temperature
Total water content
Answer: D
Latent heat release raises the potential temperature during saturated ascent, which is precisely why the equivalent and wet bulb forms were introduced. Both of those and the total water content are conserved in the reversible process. In the pseudo-adiabatic idealisation the condensed water is removed, so the total water content is not conserved there either, which is a refinement worth noting.
