How would you describe the stability of the atmosphere if you noted a dry adiabatic rate of 10ºC/1000 meters, a wet adiabatic rate of 6.5ºC/1000 meters, and an environmental lapse rate of 7.8ºC/1000 meters?

conditional instability (Γd >  Γe > Γw)

Explanation:

Given;

dry adiabatic rate, Γd = 10ºC/1000 meters

wet adiabatic rate, Γw= 6.5ºC/1000 meters

environmental lapse rate, Γe = 7.8ºC/1000 meters

Stability of the atmosphere can be described as Absolute stability, Absolute instability or conditional instability.

Conditions for Absolute stability:

Γd > Γw > Γe

Conditions for Absolute instability:

Γe > Γd > Γw

Conditions for conditional instability:

Γd >  Γe > Γw

Thus, conditional instability satisfies the given values of the atmospheric condition: Γd (10) > Γe (7.8) >  Γw (6.5)
