Sentences with phrase «condensation level»
The "condensation level" refers to the height in the atmosphere where water vapor turns into liquid water droplets (condensation) and forms clouds. Full definition
Students then use those two data in conjunction with the Lifting Condensation Level approximation, to... (View More) estimate the base altitude of visible (low level) clouds.

Image of Jupiter taken on May 18, 2017, one day before the Juno spacecraft's sixth close approach to Jupiter, taken with a filter centered at 8.8 microns that is sensitive to Jupiter's tropospheric temperatures and the thickness of a cloud near the condensation level of ammonia gas.
This is of course a simplification, but from «your» diagrams it does not seem as if the condensation level is often breached by much, and the tropopause is breached even less.
The condensation level at the top of the boundary layer will prevent this increased humidity reaching further up into the atmosphere, because it will be rained out from the clouds at the condensation level.
The water vapor evaporated from the surface taking with it latent heat of evaporation (the molecules» kinetic energy) when those water vapor molecules reach the condensation level they change state — and release energy — then again when they freeze they release energy.
Cloud base - lifting condensation level (CB - LCL) displacement, a measure of decoupling, increases westward.
If bubbles rise far enough, the air inside them cools sufficiently for saturation to occur, at a height called the «condensation level».
Mean Parcel LCL The Lifting Condensation Level is the pressure level at which a lifted parcel of air reaches saturation when lifted dry adiabatically.
As it rises it cools, and, if cooled sufficiently, cumulus clouds form at the condensation level.
