Sentence examples for lapse rate from inspiring English sources

Near Earth's heated surface, air temperature decreases superadiabatically (at a lapse rate greater than the dry adiabatic lapse rate).

Under these conditions of atmospheric instability, the air aloft cools according to the environmental lapse rate faster than the rising air is cooling at the adiabatic lapse rate.

In this situation, since the environmental lapse rate is greater than the adiabatic lapse rate, an ascending parcel of air remains warmer than the surrounding ambient air even though the parcel is both cooling and expanding.

A steep lapse rate aloft in regions of cyclonic activity ensures the occurrence of heavy frontal and convective rains.

They state, "There is no significant discrepancy between observations and models for lapse rate change between the surface and the full troposphere".

This rate is called the adiabatic lapse rate (the rate of temperature change occurring within a rising or descending air parcel).

The heated air then cools as it rises, creating a gradient in which atmospheric temperature decreases with elevation by an amount known as the adiabatic lapse rate.

The ability of the convective bubbles to break through the top of the boundary layer depends on the environmental lapse rate aloft.

When the rate of temperature decrease with height exceeds the adiabatic lapse rate for a region of the atmosphere, turbulence is generated.

lapse rate tropopause.

Lapse rate (excluding such errors) was 0 3 errors per 1536 (average rate of 0.0005).
