The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which air cools as it rises and expands
Chapter 18, Problem 70(choose chapter or problem)
The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which air cools as it rises and expands adiabatically in the atmosphere (see Application: Smog Alert, on page 302). Express dT in terms of dp for an adiabatic process, and use the hydrostatic equation (Equation 15.2) to express dp in terms of dy. Then, calculate the lapse rate Take airs average molecular weight to be 29 u and and remember that the altitude y is the negative of the depth h in Equation 15.2.
