Lapse rate — The lapse rate is defined as the rate of decrease with height for an atmospheric variable. The variable involved is temperature unless specified otherwise.[1][2] The terminology arises from the word lapse in the sense of a decrease or decline;… … Wikipedia
lapse rate — Meteorol. the rate of decrease of atmospheric temperature with increase of elevation vertically above a given location. [1915 20] * * * ▪ meteorology rate of change in temperature observed while moving upward through the Earth s atmosphere … Universalium
moist adiabatic rate — The rate of cooling of ascending saturated air. It is approximately 1.5°C/1000 ft but may reduce to as little as 1°C/1000 ft in the warm saturated tropical regions and may exceed 2°C/1000 ft when the temperature of the air falls below the… … Aviation dictionary
pseudolapse rate — The rate of cooling of ascending saturated air. It is approximately 1.5°C/1000 ft but may reduce to as little as 1°C/1000 ft in the warm saturated tropical regions. It may exceed 2°C/1000 ft when the temperature of the air falls below the… … Aviation dictionary
Convective instability — For a more general discussion of the same phenomenon, see Convective available potential energy. This article incorporates public domain text created by the US government. In meteorology, convective instability or stability of an airmass refers… … Wikipedia
Level of free convection — The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude in the atmosphere where the temperature of the environment decreases faster than the moist adiabatic lapse rate of a saturated air parcel at the same level.The usual way of finding the LFC is to… … Wikipedia
Equivalent potential temperature — Equivalent potential temperature, commonly referred to as Theta e left( heta e ight), is a quantity related to the stability of a column of air in the atmosphere. heta e is the temperature a parcel of air would reach if all the water vapor in the … Wikipedia
Microburst — Illustration of a microburst. Note the downward motion of the air until it hits ground level. It then spreads outward in all directions. The wind regime in a microburst is opposite to that of a tornado … Wikipedia
