Lapse rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lapse rate is defined as the rate of decrease with height for an atmospheric variable. The variable involved is temperature unless specified otherwise. The terminology arises from the word laps...

For instance, in the winter period of June-October, near sea level, an average temperature of 14.5° C is observed on the coastal side, and 11.5° C on the inland side. At 1,200 m in the Snowy Mountains it is 4.5° C and -1° C at 1950 m. This amounts to a lapse rate of about 7.3 K/km.

The lapse rate is taken as positive when temperature decreases with increasing height. For air saturated with H2O, the lapse rate is less because of the release of the latent heat of water as it condenses. The average tropospheric lapse rate is about 6.5 ´ 103 °C min–1.
