<br />4.3.6. Lapse rates <br /> <br />Temperature lapse rates were calculated for all moist layers by <br />dividing the temperature difference between the tops and bases of the <br /> <br />layers by the thicknesses of the moist layers. Figure 27 shows the <br /> <br />variation of average lapse rate across the High Plains, with generally <br />stable lapse rates in the northern High Plains, and less stable tempera- <br />ture'structures along the mountains and in the south. Note that lapse <br />rates throughout the High Plains are, on the average, more stable than <br />moist adiabatic (approx. 0.60C per 100 m) and less stable than iso- <br />thermal.
