GEOG 131 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Fluid Parcel, Natural Convection, Lapse Rate
Document Summary
Environmental lapse rate (elr)- lapse rate that varies with local conditions: unstable= temperature of parcel > temperature of air. If the elr is greater than the parcel then we have instability: stable= temperature of parcel < temperature of air. If the elr is less than the parcel then we have instability. Conditionally stable= salr
