23. Turbulence cloud is usually a sheet of stratus, strata cumulus some 2000 feet thick with a flat top because a) The air is usually at low temperatures containing little water vapour
b) c) d)
Turbulence steepens the lapse rate producing an inversion above the friction layer Air is not allowed to remain in contact with the surface due to the strong wind thus maintaining coo! surface air with warm air above The lapse rate becomes stable in the friction layer, due to turbulent mixing
