A good example of isentropic lift is flow riding up and over a warm front. Trace an air parcel that originates in the warm sector within southerly flow as it rides up and over a warm front (and cold air at the surface). The surface cold air pool gradually deepens as you go north and the air parcel is slowly forced upward. Adiabatic processes cause the air to cool and condense out moisture with increasing altitude resulting in clouds and rain/snow. We have 9″ in Greeley as of 11pm and it’s snowing moderately.

Supposedly 17" measured @ CSU. Can you explain Isentropic lift for me? Seems a bit confusing from what I've found online. 14″ here in south FoCo. Supposedly 17″ measured @ CSU.
