The tropopause is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2°C/km or less, provided that the average lapse-rate, between that level and all other higher levels within 2.0 km does not exceed 2°C/km. [1] The tropopause is a first-order discontinuity surface, in which temperature as a function of height varies ...
At the 60th parallel, the air rises to the tropopause (about 8 km at this latitude) and moves poleward. As it does so, the upper-level air mass deviates toward the east. When the air reaches the polar areas, it has cooled by radiation to space and is considerably denser than the underlying air. It descends, creating a cold, dry high-pressure area.
A burndown chart or burn-down chart is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time. [1] The outstanding work (or backlog) is often on the vertical axis, with time along the horizontal. A burndown chart is a run chart of remaining work. It is useful for predicting when all of the work will be completed.
Charts of the environmental lapse rate are known as thermodynamic diagrams, examples of which include Skew-T log-P diagrams and tephigrams. (See also Thermals). The difference in moist adiabatic lapse rate and the dry rate is the cause of foehn wind phenomenon (also known as "Chinook winds" in parts of North America).

A quad chart is a form of technical documentation used to briefly describe an invention or other innovation through writing, illustration and/or photographs. [1] Such documents are described as "quad" charts because they are divided into four quadrants laid out on a landscape perspective.
