Match each quantity with what its definition removes or adds.

List I

A. Potential temperature

B. Virtual temperature

C. Equivalent potential temperature

List II

P. adds the latent heat of the vapour

Q. removes the effect of pressure

R. accounts for the density effect of vapour

Select the correct match.

  • A.A-P, B-Q, C-R
  • B.A-R, B-P, C-Q
  • C.A-Q, B-P, C-R
  • D.A-Q, B-R, C-P

Answer: D

Potential temperature removes the pressure dependence, virtual temperature accounts for the density effect of the water vapour, and equivalent potential temperature adds the latent heat that the vapour would release. Each modifies the plain temperature to answer a specific question, and knowing which question each answers prevents them being confused.
