CPAER Meteorology Questions and Answers Already Passed What is the primary driver of weather? Uneven heating of the surface of the earth In a standard atmosphere the environmental lapse rate is 2o per 1,000ft The dry adiabatic lapse rate is 3o per 1,000ft The wet adiabatic lapse rate is 1.5o per 1,000ft A stable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Shallow or negative An unstable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Steeper than both the ...
