The phrase "a lapse rate of" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in scientific or meteorological contexts to describe the rate at which temperature decreases with an increase in altitude.
Example: "The meteorologist reported a lapse rate of 6.5 degrees Celsius per kilometer in the atmosphere."
Alternatives: "a temperature gradient of" or "a cooling rate of".
The larger catchments also had a lapse rate of approximately 1 °C per 100 m elevation.
In Taiwan, the temperature decreases with elevation, with a lapse rate of − 5.3 °C km−1.
This altitude information was used to adjust the temperature value at each sample location relative to the average altitude of the climate data grid at that point, based on a lapse rate of 6 degrees K per 1000 m altitude.
Using the control data, the best-fitting parameter values for the behavioral model had τ ≈ 0.8 s indicating that subjects accumulated information over almost the entire stimulus duration but were on average slightly unstable and a lapse rate of ≈0.1 (black cross, Figure 4B).
In addition, a lapse rate parameterizes the fraction of trials on which a random response is made.
Past experience shows a high lapse rate of ULO balances: US$6.7 million of ULOs carried over from 1994-95 lapsed in 1996-97, this represented an increase over the preceding biennium (where only US$3.8 million of ULO carried over from 1992-93 had lapsed).
Although the addition of a lapse rate is a reasonable and necessary addition to the model, there are no longer easy-to-compute formulas for estimating capacity.
These contrasts stemmed from GridET interpolating using an assumed lapse rate of Γ = 6.5 K km−1, whereas WRF produced a thermodynamically-driven lapse rate closer to 5 K km−1 as observed in mountainous terrain.
ΓLAP is an initial lapse rate of potential temperature, and is defined as - d θ ¯ / dz in an initially neutral or unstable layer (50 to 55 km), which is capped by a stable layer (55 to 58 km) with buoyancy frequency N ( ≡ gd ln θ ¯ / dz 1 / 2 ) of 0.01 · s-1.
A lapse rate was calculated as the proportion of incorrect responses to catch trials for each participant for each condition for each task.
The layer is compressed and heated by the resulting increase in atmospheric pressure, and as a result the lapse rate of temperature is reduced.
