What meteorological effect follows from the decrease of water vapour with height?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Upper dry layers can affect cloud development and radiation balance

Correct answer: A. Water vapour is usually concentrated more strongly in the lower atmosphere because most evaporation sources are at or near the surface and cooler air aloft generally holds less vapour. The vertical distribution of moisture matters for weather. A dry layer above a moist lower layer can affect cloud growth by allowing evaporation of cloud droplets or by changing the stability and development of a cloud. Water vapour also absorbs and emits longwave radiation, so changes in moisture with height influence the radiation balance and atmospheric heating or cooling. B is too absolute and is not generally true. C is incorrect because evaporation sources do not automatically increase with altitude. D is wrong because upper-air moisture is important in cloud, storm, and radiation analysis. Memory cue: “Moisture profile controls both clouds and energy.”
