Question

What does normal lapse rate mean how is it calculated

Answer 1

, the free encyclopedia. The lapse rate is the rate at which temperature in Earth's atmosphere decreases with an increase in altitude, or increases with the decrease in altitude. Lapse rate arises from the word lapse, in the sense of a gradual change.

Answer 2

What does normal lapse rate mean how is it calculated

Explanation:

• The lapse rate is the rate at which the air variables normally the temperature falls within the altitude and laps is a general sense of the fall and is can be applied to any gradual parcel of the air as a gradient of the temperatures. The normal lapse rate of the earth is about the 6.5° C.  

• And this is also called as the environmental lapse rate and is affected by the impacts of the radiation ad the convection and the condensation. As per the I.S.A, the temperature lapse rate is about the 6.49 k/ km form the sea level to the 11 km.  

• To calculate the lapse rate initial temperature and the initial height and the final height,  let final altitude will be equal to the 12 km C and final temperature = -54 degrees C. hence the lapse rate will equal to the -5.5 C/km, that increase with each km rise in altitude, temperature will drop by 5.5 degrees C. = 12 + 2 x -5.5 = 12 - 11 C = 1 degree C.
