It's a small effect, much smaller in the atmosphere than the expansion due to the reduction in pressure as the air rises, but the reduction in volume at a given pressure due to condensation is included in accurate computations
of adiabatic lapse rates.
Because
of adiabatic lapse (think PV = nRT), the temperature of the atmosphere drops rather quickly as a function of height until you get up to the thermosphere, where there is a large rise in temperature, but so rarefied an atmosphere as not to have any significant impact on the atmospheric windows.
But the radiative cooling is time dependent, and a steeper lapse rate will increase convection and decrease the time over which a rising parcel can radiate heat away, increasing the relative amount
of adiabatic versus radiative cooling.
Increased temperature will increase the absolute humidity according to the Clausius - Claperyon equation; a larger amount of water vapor will decrease the density of air, all else being equal, which will increase convection and the relative amount
of adiabatic versus radiative cooling.
The numerical value
of the adiabatic lapse rate is not dependent of GHGs, but the appearance of a lapse rate near to the adiabatic in the atmosphere is dependent on GHGs.
This transition of state of water relates to the basic physical processes
of adiabatic cooling and heating of water vapor.
The Process
of Adiabatic Cooling and Heating.
In order to increase that volume of dry air to 0.9 kg / m ^ 3 would require heating by 14 C or about 1400 meters
of adiabatic compression.
The normal way of considering the role
of adiabatic condensation in ascending air and how that's related to pressure and temperature changes goes essentially as follows:
That's because
of the adiabatic expansion of the balloon as it is lifted to a lower pressure altitude.
I agree with a lot of your assertions, e.g. the practical irrelevance
of the adiabatic and hence essentially reversible ALR — the only mechanism that actually cools the atmosphere (permanently removes heat from it) is radiation, and that occurs in the upper troposphere where the atmosphere ceases to be opaque to e.g. LWIR (although it is more complex than this, this process occurs in depth and at different depths in different frequencies).
Now tell me why a gas that can not be experimentally measured to be different in any way from the gas at the bottom and top
of the adiabatic cylinder is capable of doing work and causing heat to flow, but the gas in the jars is not?
Then is constant, and I can grok that and see immediately that this sort
of adiabatic expansion cools the gas as it cuts across to lower isotherms.
(3) «Gravito - thermal» theory predicts that the on - axis gas temperature will be far below room temperature, in consequence
of the adiabatic lapse rate combined with a large pressure gradient.
Obviously you do not understand either waves or the conditions
of adiabatic isolation.
Pippard [22], for example, states that the notion
of adiabatic isolation is applicable only when gravity is excluded.
The point being that the usual textbook definitions
of adiabatic processes and so on involve them being quasi-static, and I'm not sure that a free expansion of the sort described truly qualifies.
Jelbring is wrong, not because
of the adiabatic lapse rate but because he defines the greenhouse effect as the adiabatic temperature difference between two levels.
This is how it works: I have attached a copper wire to the bottom
of my adiabatic container and a silver wire to the top.
Using the equation of state, the first law of thermodynamics, and the hydrostatic equation we can find that the rate
of adiabatic temperature change in an ascending air parcel (also termed the adiabatic lapse rate and denoted Γd) is constant:..»]
I look forward to your explanation of how Maxwell's Equations are modified in vertical gravitational fields, so that we can not actually see things like the sun because all those photons must experience the exact same gravitational thermal lapse that a column
of adiabatic gas 150 million kilometers high would.
Since there has been no change in the constant the increase of KE relative to PE results in warming
of the adiabatic loop.
iv) The answer must depend on whether any slowing down of the throughput of radiation from a mere change in radiative characteristics within the SDL would overwhelm the flexibility
of the adiabatic processes in the AAL.
There is a general failure to comprehend that the question
of adiabatic flame temperature — of the energy released by combustion — goes to the «lag» in warming of the atmosphere.
The idea
of Adiabatic auto compression occurs all the time in nature!
Today, Heim continues her research in the field of quantum computing, mostly in the realm
of adiabatic quantum computing and quantum error correction, at ETH Zürich's Institute of Theoretical Physics.
This is the result
of adiabatic warming, where air is compressed from low pressure (at the top of a mountain) to high pressure (at sea level).
The appeal
of adiabatic quantum computing lies not only in its simplicity, but also in its versatility.
Hong was convinced that a simple model
of adiabatic expansion — the rapid diffusion of gas that occurs, for example, when a balloon bursts — could explain what happens when popcorn kernels explode.

The computers built by commercial firm D - Wave
of Burnaby in British Columbia, Canada, have many more qubits — about 500 — but use a method known as
adiabatic quantum computing, which, unlike the traditional method, has not yet been proved to give a quantum power boost.
D - Wave instead uses
adiabatic quantum computing, in which an array
of chilled, superconducting niobium loops — the qubits in this system — very quickly find the lowest point in what can be thought
of as an energy «landscape»
of hills and valleys.
But
adiabatic computing is a much newer field and so much less
of the theory is known.
For now, the researchers are planning to test the 51 - atom system as a quantum simulator, specifically on path - planning optimization problems that can be solved using
adiabatic quantum computing — a form
of quantum computing first proposed by Edward Farhi, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor
of Physics at MIT.
The experimental results show the decreasing electron temperature along the expansion, following a near perfect
adiabatic expansion
of an electron gas when electric fields are removed from the system.
If you do a better job on the homogenisation, you end up with answers closer to the expected moist
adiabatic amplification
of the trend with height.
Previous research suggests that
adiabatic quantum computers are especially good at optimization problems, which involve finding the best solution from all feasible solutions, such as the shortest route connecting multiple destinations, or the most stable form
of molecules — the former problem could help Mars rovers better explore the red planet, while the latter could lead to better drugs or catalysts.
The Google - led project combines the advantages

Standard quantum computers use algorithms that each only solve a very specific problem, such as cracking encryption, whereas

In this area on the night side, the air mass goes down to 70 km, which may lead to the
adiabatic heating

If you do a better job on the homogenisation, you end up with answers closer to the expected moist

Possibly, the solution to this is that in the real atmopshere the movement
of this level is severely constrained (mainly by
adiabatic cooling) and so can not rise enough to produce your solution.
Uh, re Levenson (250): if there is no radiative coupling whatsoever
of the earth to the atmosphere or
of the atmosphere to itself, then outside
of convective instability (which would lead to an
adiabatic lapse rate), the only transport mechanism is conduction.
The ratio between the trends should follow moist
adiabatic independent
of where El Niño's occur though.
Indeed, there is a clear physical reason why this is the case — the increase in water vapour as surface air temperature rises causes a change in the moist -
adiabatic lapse rate (the decrease
of temperature with height) such that the surface to mid-tropospheric gradient decreases with increasing temperature (i.e. it warms faster aloft).
The dry
adiabatic lapse rate is g / cp, where g is the acceleration
of gravity and cp is the specific heat at constant pressure.
(PS diffusion
of matter and energy (latent heat) during such phase changes requires compositional and temperature gradients — entropy must then be produced, so there is a departure from actually being
adiabatic — a smaller departure if pressure is being changed less rapidly (so that diffusions occur across smaller gradients).
In both models and data there is the expected enhancement
of the variability in the lower - troposhere (based simply on the expected changes in the moist
adiabatic lapse rate as the surface temperature changes).
