The environmental lapse rate (ELR), is the rate of decrease of temperature with altitude in the stationary atmosphere at a given time and location.

While Normal Lapse Rate is average concept for temperature decline with height in the troposphere.

What is the normal environmental lapse rate?

Usually somewhere between moist and dry adiabatic lapse rates: 6.5 C/1000 m - 10C/1000 m. It varies though seasonally, with location, and with time of day.


When the environmental lapse rate is between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates conditions are described as what?

When the environmental lapse rate is between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates, conditions are described as conditionally unstable. This means that the atmosphere is stable when unsaturated and unstable when saturated, indicating the potential for convective storms to develop under the right conditions.

Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?

Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is less than the adiabatic lapse rate. This means that the temperature of the surrounding air decreases at a slower rate with altitude compared to the dry or moist adiabatic lapse rates, resulting in a more stable atmosphere.


What is the standard temperature lapse rate in the troposphere?

The standard temperature lapse rate or environmental lapse rate as it is more commonly known is basically the temperature difference between the tropopause surface divided by height. This uses the formula -dT/dz and essentially shows the temperature decreasing as the height above the tropopause increases.


Use lapse in a sentence?

What is the difference between ethical dilemma and ethical lapse?

You face an ethical dilemma when you must choose between two or more conflicting alternatives that both seem valid and ethical. An ethical lapse, on the other hand, occurs when you make a choice that is clearly unethical and or illegal. An ethical dilemma can lead to an ethical lapse but doesn't necessarily do so.
