is
to
provide
a
freely
accessible
publication
on
the
Internet
where
the
public
can
obtain

simulates
the
difficult
concepts
of
adiabatic
processes.
A
leaf
visually
symbolizes
a
parcel
of
air
rising
over
a
mountain.
Users
are
allowed
to
vary
the
beginning
temperature
and
vapor-pressure
of
the
parcel
of
air,
and
the
relative
wind
speed
as
it
moves
up
and
over
a
mountain.
Graphs
