The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) is:
A
Greater than the DALR
B
Less than the DALR
C
Equal to the DALR
D
Constant at all altitudes
B
Less than the DALR✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
The SALR (approximately 1.5°C/1000 ft) is less than the DALR because latent heat is released during condensation, slowing the cooling rate.
