  2. Lapse rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate

    In dry air, the adiabatic lapse rate (i.e., decrease in temperature of a parcel of air that rises in the atmosphere without exchanging energy with surrounding air) is 9.8 °C/km (5.4 °F per 1,000 ft). The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR), or moist adiabatic lapse rate (MALR), is the decrease in temperature of a parcel of water-saturated ...

  3. Convective instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_instability

    The dry adiabatic lapse rate (for unsaturated air) is 3 °C (5.4 °F) per 1,000 vertical feet (300 m). The moist adiabatic lapse rate varies from 1.1 to 2.8 °C (2.0 to 5.0 °F) per 1,000 vertical feet (300 m). The combination of moisture and temperature determine the stability of the air and the resulting weather. Cool, dry air is very stable ...

  4. Heat burst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_burst

    As the unsaturated air descends into lower levels of the atmosphere, the air pressure increases. The descending air parcel warms at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of approximately 10 °C per 1000 meters (18 °F per 1000 feet) of descent. The warm air from the cluster replaces the cool air on the ground.

  5. Geothermal gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_gradient

    Earth cutaway from core to exosphere Geothermal drill machine in Wisconsin, USA. Temperature within Earth increases with depth. Highly viscous or partially molten rock at temperatures between 650 and 1,200 °C (1,200 and 2,200 °F) are found at the margins of tectonic plates, increasing the geothermal gradient in the vicinity, but only the outer core is postulated to exist in a molten or fluid ...

    Firefighters now have 20% of the Franklin Fire under containment as evacuations remain in Malibu and despite red flag warnings coming to an end. 'Steady progress': Crews aided by rain, cooler ...

  7. Alpine climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_climate

    This is known as an adiabatic process, which has a characteristic pressure-temperature curve. As the pressure gets lower, the temperature decreases. The rate of decrease of temperature with elevation is known as the adiabatic lapse rate, which is approximately 9.8 °C per kilometer (or 5.4 °F per 1000 feet) of altitude. [6]
