| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | The decrease of an atmospheric variable with height, the variable being temperature, unless otherwise specified.The term applies ambiguously to the environmental lapse rate and the process lapse rate, and the meaning must often be ascertained from the context. (references) |
Weather | The rapidity with which temperature decreases with altitude. The normal lapse rate is defined to be 3.6 degrees F per 1000 feet change in altitude. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is about 5.5 degrees F per 1000 feet, and the wet adiabatic lapse rate varies between 2 and 5 degrees F per 1000 feet. (references) |
| The rate of change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. A steep lapse rate implies a rapid decrease in temperature with height (a sign of instability) and a steepening lapse rate implies that destabilization is occurring. See Fig. 6, sounding. (references) | |
