• environmental lapse rate — The lapse rate in the surrounding air within which a volume of air is being lifted. The average rate is 2°C/1,000 ft. This should not be confused with dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) and saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR), in which the lapse… …   Aviation dictionary

• environmental lapse rate — (ELR)   change in temperature with altitude above a particular point at a particular time. Average is 6.5蚓 per 1000m. Actual rates slower at lower altitude. In summer, rates tend to be quicker than in winter for the same place …   Geography glossary
