Mountains Description

All three Mountains programs allow the user to follow a parcel of air across a predetermined path of two mountains. The path starts at 0m, progresses upward to 2km, down to 1km, up to 3km, and back to the surface. The only difference between the three is in the original version, you can change the initial temperature and dew point, whereas in the fixed, you can not. The large-size version is like the original - with adjustable initial temperature and dew point scrollbars. The Objective of the Mountains programs is to develop an understanding for what happens to air as it rises and sinks, and how mountains play a role in affecting the properties of the air that passes over it. Take the Mountains program for a spin to fully assess its capabilities!
