Cold air at the top of ascending columns is forced to one side by warmer air continuing to flow up from beneath but it is blocked by the warmer stratospheric air above and so flows laterally and downward to the top of descending columns, following the undulating slope of the tropopause.

Whereas the CO2 has reduced the rate of uplift in the ascending column (which warms the surface) CO2 at lower levels reduces the rate of descent in the descending column which reduces surface temperature because less warmth is then being generated via compression of descending air.

The rotation spreads the temperature differentials latitudinally forming discrete climate zones with favoured regions of either ascending or descending air with jet streams threaded between them.

It is for the most part only in the tropics that tropospheric air can be drawn up into the stratosphere; it is also in the tropics that one finds the most spectacular thunderstorms, and these can reduce the temperature at the top of the troposphere, deepening the cold trap that ascending water vapour must pass through and thus impeding its rise.

Ice melts a lot faster in water at 10 °C than in air at 20 °C because of energy transfer rates, plus warmer air ascends and melting requires a lot of latent heat.

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:..»]

Extratropical cyclones have three stages of expansion: the developing stage, in which an undulating wave develops along the front; the mature stage, in which sinking cold air sweeps equatorward west of the surface low - pressure centre and ascending warm air moves poleward east of the cyclone; and the occluded stage, in which the warm air is entrained within and moved above the polar air and becomes separated from the source region of the tropical air.

For example, when an air parcel ascends the temperature has to decrease because of internal energy exchange due to the work against the gravity field.

Adiabatic cooling of ascending air masses does not represent a loss of energy from an air mass and therefore does not create a loss of buoyancy.

Ascending air cools The only heating is from solar infrared (absorbed by water vapour) and condensation (of water vapour); the heating in the altitude explains the Ch.

That's essentially equivalent to the well known fact that adiabatic condensation occurs always in ascending convection where the parcel of air moves to lower pressure and cools.

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, of course, possible only, if there are no places where saturated air ascends vertically, because condensation can most certainly not be prevented in such ascending flow.

The ITCZ is located at the ascending branch of the Hadley cell, an atmospheric circulation associated with rising air near the equator and descending air in subtropical regions (see Fig. 2 for a schematic).

Alternatively we can refer to the intercal but keep some velocities fixed at externally defined values, that could tell, e.g., the velocity of a vertically ascending parcel of air.

I agree on that, but presenting the issue with an accuracy where that matters we should consider also acceleration at different altitudes in the motion of the ascending air.

These ocean upwelling conditions occur beneath a complementary downwelling branch of the atmosphere's Hadley circulation — a planetary - scale flow pattern in both hemispheres that takes humid air ascending at low latitudes, heats and desiccates it in deep precipitating tropical clouds, and then sinks it at midlatitudes, where it is considerably warmer and drier than it was.

This rising air reinforces the air that's already ascending from the surface, so the circulation and wind speeds of the storm increase.

As this air ascends, it reaches upper levels of the troposphere and returns eastwards to eventually sink over the cooler water of the eastern Pacific.
