Convective Lapse Rate

Convective Lapse Rate is the rate at which the temperature of a rising parcel of air decreases with altitude due to adiabatic expansion under conditions of convective atmospheric processes, distinguishing it from environmental or radiative lapse rates by its dependence on buoyancy-driven vertical motion.
