5. Winds warmed by compression that descend the castern slopes of the Rocky Mountains are known as chinooks. At a mountain peak of 4 km, a saturated parcel is -15° C. The parcel precipitates out excess moisture so that it descends the eastern slope back to sea level as an unsaturated parcel. Calculate the temperature of the parcel at sea level.
