| 释义 | > as lemmasadiabatic lapse rate adiabatic lapse rate n. Atmospheric Physics the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with increasing altitude in conditions of thermal equilibrium; (also) a lapse rate characteristic of such conditions; cf. lapse rate n. at lapse n. Compounds. ΚΠ 1919 Q. Jrnl. Royal Meteorol. Soc. 45 319 If the air outside is perfectly dry and has an adiabatic lapse rate as far as the stratosphere the maximum possible instability will exist. 1952 J. A. Steers et al. Lake's Physical Geogr. (ed. 3) i. vi. 70 For unstable equilibrium the gradient is greater than the normal; for stable equilibrium it is less. It is now more common to describe this normal gradient as the adiabatic lapse-rate. 1968 Bot. Gaz. 129 21/1 The usual adiabatic lapse rate of 1 C/100 m. 2003 E. A. Moore in N. McBride & I. Gilmour Introd. Solar Syst. (2004) v. 175 On Venus the adiabatic lapse rate is higher than on the Earth (the temperature drops more quickly with altitude). < as lemmas |
