Adiabatic cooling is the process that causes the temperature to decrease ... the temperature cools at a rate of 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit every ... This is called the dry/moist adiabatic lapse rate.

The descending air warms at the dry adiabatic lapse rate, which is a temperature change of about 5.5 °F for every 1,000 ft. The term “Chinook” originated along the Pacific Northwest coast to ...

A note from a viewer in Moline asks about the adiabatic rate of temperature change. It turns out that when dry air (meaning no clouds) changes pressure the temperature also changes. You've had the ...

Then, the dry adiabatic lapse rates and moist adiabatic lapse rates run at a different angles. Dry adiabats show the rate at which unsaturated air cools as it rises, ...
