Temp descends is slower than for dry air

Small, Intense downdraft that causes powerful winds

4C to 4C /km

Sudden change in wind direction and wind speed

Cool air pulled downhill

Used to understand behavior of rising moist air parcels, esp in cloud formation and storm dev

10C/km

Adriatic Waist

Used to assess atmospheric stability by comparing it with DALR and SALR

Variable rate that depends on local atmospheric conditions

6.5C/ km

Mild to Extreme

Forms when the air near the ground cools rapidly usually at night

Temp of dry air parcel descend as it rises and expands in the atmosphere

ELR is less than SALR

It spread outward in all directions

ELR is greater than DALR

Occur vertically and horizontally

160km/hr

Descend temp with an rises in altitude

Temp of saturated air parcel descend as it rises

SALR [ELR] DALR

Southern Frame

20-100 kts

Air parcel cool as they rises because the pressure descend causing expansion

Antartica

4km (5-15 mins)

Occur much longer scale than mc

Used to understand temp changes in rising and sinking dry air parcel before condensation begins
