Mountain (Adiabatic) Simulation Interactive Tutorial

http://www.pals.iastate.edu/simulations/library/Mtnsim/index.html

This applet simulates the difficult concepts of adiabatic processes. A leaf symbolizes a parcel of air rising over the Mountain. Graphs then display the information as the leaf rises and falls. Users are allowed to vary the beginning temperature and vapor-pressure of the leaf.
