11. The elevation of Mount Whitney (California) is 14,505 feet above sea-level. Using the attached figure of Air Pressure vs. Elevation above Mean Sea-Level (M.S.L.), determine the air pressure at the top of Mt. Whitney. DO NOT USE ANY UNITS; JUST SUBMIT THE NUMBER OF MILLIBARS. 12. If the temperature at 52,800 feet (the stratosphere) was -40°F, and instead of the Average Lapse Rate being 3.5°F per 1,000 feet of elevation change, what would be the temperature of the air if it were somehow brought down to Fresno, in °F, and the ALR was 5..5°F per 1,000 feet of elevation change? Use Equation (1), but with 5.5 instead of 3.5. 13. The elevation of a campsite at Shaver Lake is 5,577 feet above sea-level. Using the attached figure of Air Pressure vs. Elevation above Mean Sea- Level (M.S.L.), determine the air pressure at the campsite. DO NOT USE ANY UNITS: JUST SUBMIT THE NUMBER OF MILLIBARS. 15.

To convert from feet to meters, multiply feet by 0.3048 To convert from meters to feet, divide meters by 0.3048 To convert from °F to °C, °C = (°F - 32)/1.8 To convert from °C to °F, °F = °C x 1.8 +32 T Elev2 = T Elev1 + ((Elev1 - Elev2) / 1,000) * Average Lapse RateEQ (1) (where: ELEV1 is the elevation where you are located, T Elev1 is the temperature where you are located, Elev2 is the elevation of the other location, and T Elev2 is the temperature at the other location). (Note: It is understood that all elevations are relative to sea-level, and that elevations above sea-level are positive, and that elevations below sea-level are negative) For the following questions, students may assume that Fresno has an elevation of 328 feet above sea-level, and that the time period is any day in July. 11. The elevation of Mount Whitney (California) is 14,505 feet above sea-level. Using the attached figure of Air Pressure vs. Elevation above Mean Sea-Level (M.S.L.), determine the air pressure at the top of Mt. Whitney. DO NOT USE ANY UNITS; JUST SUBMIT THE NUMBER OF MILLIBARS. 12. If the temperature at 52,800 feet (the stratosphere) was -40°F, and instead of the Average Lapse Rate being 3.5°F per 1,000 feet of elevation change, what would be the temperature of the air if it were somehow brought down to Fresno, in °F, and the ALR was 5..5°F per 1,000 feet of elevation change? Use Equation (1), but with 5.5 instead of 3.5. 13. The elevation of a campsite at Shaver Lake is 5,577 feet above sea-level.
