Autoconvective Lapse Rate
The
environmental lapse rate of
temperature in an atmosphere
in which the density is constant with height (homogenous atmosphere),
equal to g/R, where g is the acceleration of gravity and R the
gas constant. For dry air the autoconvective lapse rate is approximately
<math>+3.4 x 10-4 </math>°C per centimeter. Also called autoconvection
gradient.
