Abstract

Students from Bangor University made weather observations on the slopes of Snowdon in their Easter holidays from 1969 to 2010. The air temperature decreased with altitude at a rate of about 10 degCkm−1, close to the dry adiabatic lapse rate, although the gradient was less when raining. Water temperatures also decreased with height but wind speeds, on average, increased. The eastern flank of the mountain was noticeably wetter and less windy than the north. Over the four decades, air temperatures increased by an average of 1.6 degC, equivalent to the mountain shrinking by 160m, based on the observed lapse rate.

1969 年至 2010 年对斯诺登复活节天气的实地观察

从 1969 年到 2010 年，班戈大学的学生利用复活节假期在斯诺登山坡上进行了气象观测。空气温度随海拔高度下降，降幅约为 10 摄氏度/千米，接近于干燥绝热失效率，但下雨时降幅较小。水温也随着高度的增加而降低，但平均风速却增加了。山的东侧明显比北侧湿润，风力也较小。在这四十年中，气温平均上升了 1.6 摄氏度，根据观测到的失效率，相当于山体缩小了 160 米。

期刊介绍： The aim of Weather is to act as a bridge between the interests of those having a professional and a general interest in the weather, as well as between meteorologists and others working in related sciences such as climatology, hydrology and geography. Articles and regular features are written for a wide range of readers, from professional meteorologists to amateur weather observers. While technical language and mathematical content are kept to a minimum, Weather also seeks to inform and to give readers an opportunity to update their subject knowledge. Weather is also the ''house journal'' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society news and includes meeting and conference reports, a Readers'' Forum series and occasional Viewpoint articles. Photographs of weather events are an important feature of the journal and the Weather Image feature provides an opportunity to analyse a satellite image or photograph. Weather Log is a summary of the weather of each month by means of meteorological data and weather maps.
