A weather station at the airport measured a station pressure of 1014 mb. The density of dry air is 1.3 kg/m^3. The gas constant for dry air, R, is 287 J/kg-K. Calculate the temperature of the dry air at the airport.
1 mb = 100 J/m ^3
AND
The surface pressure at the airport then decreased to...
Snow behaves like a black-body with respect to infrared radiation. Given this fact, explain why is it not surprising that inhabited igloos and snowcaves are characterized by comfortable temperatures inside. HINT: (Kirchoff's Law will help explain this)
