DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE


Meaning of DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE in English

The Adiabatic Lapse Rate for air not saturated with water vapor, or 0.98°C per 100 meters rise (5.4°F per 1,000 feet), expressed as: ðd = -dT/dz where: dT is the change in air temperature; dz is the change in altitude; and ðd is the dry adiabatic lapse rate. Compare to Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate.
