Using Figure 13.1 and your graphs in Figure 13.2, note the relationship between the environmental lapse rates on each graph you made and the DAR and MAR. Determine which stability condition describes each of the three graphs you have completed. Hint: Compare each ELR plotted with the relations in Figure 13.2.









Stability graph (a)

Stability graph (b)

Stability graph (c)


Stability graph (a): unstable conditions
Stability graph (b): stable conditions
Stability graph (c): conditionally unstable conditions
