Abstract
AbstractThe lapse rate of temperature following an individual air parcel is derived assuming continuity of temperature, density, motion, and non‐vertical ascent in a changing pressure field. The result differs substantially in form and sometimes in magnitude from that obtained by the usual theory in which the ascent is strictly vertical and the parcel is discontinuous. When non‐vertical ascent and continuous fields are taken into account, important terms arise when the pressure field varies rapidly with time or along the horizontal coordinates. The importance of the departure of the unsaturated parcel lapse rate from gc in the computation of vertical motion by the adiabatic method is noted.
