What is Understanding Lapse Rates in Meteorology about?
The document discusses atmospheric stability and how it is determined by the relationship between the environmental lapse rate (ELR) and the adiabatic lapse rate (ALR). If ELR is greater than ALR, the atmosphere is unstable and parcels of air will continue to rise or sink. If ELR is less than ALR, the atmosphere is stable. If the rates are equal, the atmosphere is neutral. The dry adiabatic lapse rate can be calculated using equations of hydrostatic equilibrium and the adiabatic atmosphere.
