I Figure 4. - Themodynomic response and model diagnoses of cloud depth and precipitation for a simulation
using a lifting profile from the surface to 70 kPa. Two rawinsondes were examined for Goodland,
Kansas, on August 19, 1977, one observed at 1200 G.m. t. (figures 4.1 and 4.3), the other at 1800 G.m. t.
(figures 4.2 and 4.4). Note the difference in model response to lifting using the same lifting pro-
file with two different raobs.
