Changes in temperature with change in elevation
• Two different mechanisms– Earth’s atmosphere is heated from below– Gases cool as they expand
Earth’s atmosphere is heated from below
• It is warmer closer to the sea level• It is cooler at higher altitudes• Environmental lapse rate
– About 6.5o C / 1000 m– About 3.5o F / 1000 ft
Gases cool as they expand
• Still have same heat energy• Take up larger volume• Increase in volume at lower pressure• Atmospheric pressure declines with altitude• Temperature change due to change in
volume called “Adiabatic lapse rate”
Adiabatic lapse rate
• Temperature declines with lower pressure, at higher altitude
• Temperature increases with higher pressure, at lower altitude

• Rate of temperature change depends on saturation
• Saturated air has condensation of water, which releases heat: warms environment
10o C / 1000 m if not saturated5o C / 1000 m if condensation is occurring
Adiabatic lapse rate Cooling by lifting—adiabatics
Orographic lifting Rain shadow
Warm front lifting Convergent lifting
