    The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which the temperature of an air parcel changes with altitude due to expansion or compression without heat exchange. For rising dry air, temperature decreases at 9.8°C per kilometer of altitude gain. For descending air, temperature increases at the same rate with decreasing altitude. The moist adiabatic lapse rate is lower than the dry rate and depends on the air's moisture content.

    adiabatic lapse rate (in atmospheric chemistry)

    The rate of decrease in temperature with increase in altitude of an air parcel


    which is expanding slowly to a lower atmospheric pressure without ex-
    change of heat; for a descending parcel it is the rate of increase in tempera-
    ture with decrease in altitude. Theory predicts that for dry air it is equal to
    the acceleration of gravity divided by the specific heat of dry air at constant
    pressure (approximately 9.8 °C km–1). The moist adiabatic lapse rate is
    less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate and depends on the moisture content
    of the air mass.
