Why is the moist-adiabatic lapse rate lower than the dry-adiabatic lapse rate?
because obama created it
What is the relationship of the ambient lapse rate to the adiabatic lapse rate?
relationship between adiabatic and Ambient lapse rate provides information about the stability of the rising parcel of air. when adiabatic lapse rate is greater than ambient lapse rate, the situation...
Why is there a difference between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates?
Air that is rising at the dry adiabatic rate can simply cool at the rate at which the decreasing pressure forces it to. Once it cools to its dew point at the lifting condensation level, it must...
What is the dry adiabatic lapse rate on Venus?
The dry adiabatic lapse rate (La)* on Venus is about 10.47K/km, and is similar to that of Earth. This is because the La is governed specific heat (Cp) of the atmospheric gasses and the planet's...
Wet adiabatic lapse rate?
More commonly the "moist adiabatic lapse rate", it is the rate at which a parcel of air rises when it is saturated with moisture. Adiabatic means there is no exchange of heat with its surroundings,...
