Station A at sea level records a maximum temperature of \(34^{\\circ}\\text{C}\) on a certain day. Station B, located at \(1500\\ \text{m}\) above sea level, records a maximum temperature of \(28^{\\circ}\\text{C}\) on the same day. Assuming the environmental lapse rate is \(6.5^{\\circ}\\text{C}\) per 1000\,m, determine whether the observed temperature difference between the two stations is consistent with the lapse rate. If not, calculate the temperature anomaly at Station B (the amount by which the observed temperature exceeds the expected temperature).

Answer Options

A. The observed difference is not consistent; the temperature anomaly at Station B is +2.25°C.
B. The observed difference is not consistent; the temperature anomaly at Station B is -3.75°C.
C. The observed difference is consistent with the lapse rate; the temperature anomaly at Station B is 0°C.
Correct Answer D. The observed difference is not consistent; the temperature anomaly at Station B is +3.75°C.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
The observed difference is not consistent; the temperature anomaly at Station B is +3.75°C.
