Are any layers in this atmospheric profile saturated? Explain your reasoning. There are two inversions on this profile below the 500 mb pressure level. Identify those inversions by circling them. Identify a layer of the atmosphere that is absolutely unstable, conditionally unstable, and absolutely stable. Explain your reasoning for the layers you selected. Look below the SOO mb level. Absolutely stable layer:

mb to

nb Absolutely unstable layer:

mb to

mb Conditionally unstable layer:

mb to

mb Explanation: In the stratosphere, the layer of atmosphere above the troposphere, temperature increas with height. The level that marks the division between the stratosphere and troposphere is the tropopause. Estimate the level of the tropopatse based on this Skew-T.
