If, on the contrary, the upper air is cooler than predicted by the adiabatic lapse rate, then when the air parcel rises to its new height it will have a higher temperature and a lower density than its surroundings, and will continue to accelerate upward.
Če je zgornji zrak toplejši od določene adiabatne gradietne stopnje (formula_13), potem se delec zraka, ki se dviga in širi, prispe na novo višino z manjšo temperaturo kot njegova okolica.
