q Dry adiabatic lapse rate is
constant = 10ºC/km.
q Moist adiabatic lapse rate is
NOT a constant. It depends on the temperature of saturated air
parcel.
qThe higher the air temperature, the smaller the moist adiabatic lapse
rate.
qèWhen warm, saturated air cools, it causes more condensation (and
more latent heat release) than for cold, saturated air.
