Question 174
XE-HNAT2 marksNeeds review
A column of air mass extend from surface to a height of 10 km moving eastward along 30 °N isobars a north-south oriented mountain range. While crossing the mountain range, the air mass acquires a relative vorticity of −3.65 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ at the top. If the air mass maintains the same latitude and potential vorticity, the height of the mountain range is ______ km. (Round off to the nearest integer.) [Assume the angular velocity of the Earth is 7.3 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ and initial relative vorticity is zero.]
