Forced Lifting and Windward v Leeward slopes

  When forcing dry air to rise it will cool at 5.5°F/1000 ft whereas wet air cools at 3.5°F/1000 ft. Why is the WALR < DALR? Describe the uplift mechanisms of convection and orographic lift. Suppose an air parcel had a temperature of 80°F at the elevation of 1,000 ft and it had a dew point of 50°F. What is the current relative humidity? How much lift would be needed to reach the lifting condensation level (LCL)? What would the altitude of the LCL be?
