The difference is between dry and wet adiabatic lapse rates. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which dry air cools as it rises (or warms as it descends): a loss of 5.4 degrees per thousand ...
A note from a viewer in Moline asks about the adiabatic rate of temperature change. It turns out that when dry air (meaning no clouds) changes pressure the temperature also changes. You've had the ...
