MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE
Specialty Definition: Moist adiabatic lapse rate
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The
moist adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which the temperature of a parcel of saturated air decreases as the parcel is lifted in the atmosphere. The moist adiabatic lapse rate (abbreviated MALR) is not a constant like the dry adiabatic lapse rate but is dependent on parcel temperature and pressure.
