Britannica online encyclopedia article on lapse rate (meteorology), rate of change in temperature observed while moving upward through the Earth’s atmosphere. ... The dry adiabatic lapse rate for air depends only on the specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure and the acceleration due to gravity.

The decrease in temperature with elevation is called the environmental lapse rate of temperature or normal lapse rate of temperature. Recall that the normal lapse rate of temperature is the average lapse rate of temperature of .65o C / 100 meters.

LAPSE RATE The change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. A steep lapse rate implies a rapid decrease in temperature with height and is a sign of instability. Related term: absolute instability...

GRADIENT: the rate at which something changes; here, we are talking about temperature gradients: how fast the temperature changes with height ... LAPSE RATE: The rate at which temperature decreases with height in the atmosphere. This has the opposite sign from the temperature gradient a physicist would use, so be careful.

Inversions complicate the analysis of the lapse rate, especially when smoke is added. It isn’t simple thermodynamics. The assertion that an undergrad would understand the problem is an attempt to intimidate the non-scientist and bully those who have different perspectives.
