Question

Which of the following statements about air parcel behavior relative to isentropic surfaces are true? Isentropic surfaces tend to run parallel to frontal zones making variations of u, v, T, and q more gradual along the isentropic surface. For synoptic scale motions, as a first approximation, air parcels follow the isentropic surface. Moisture transport on an isentropic surface is three dimensional. Isentropic surfaces tend to cross frontal zones making variations of u, v, T, and q more gradual along the front. Horizontal flow along an isentropic surface contains the diabetic component of vertical motion. Horizontal flow along an isentropic surface contain the component of vertical motion.

Explanation / Answer

The horizontal flow along an isentropic surface contains the adiabatic component of vertical motion.
