Meteorology

                Here  is  a  thermodynamic  diagram  showing  the  temperature  change  with

                altitude.




























                The lifting curve (the black, uneven line) shows the temperature at a given

                altitude.

                The lifting curve will initially be parallel to the dry adiabatic lapse rate (the red

                curve) until the dew point is reached (around -5°C here).

                After that, it will be parallel to the moist adiabatic lapse rate (the blue curve).
