due to the instability of the surrounding air.

The ambient lapse rate differs in different meteorological conditions but, on average, is 2 C-change per 1,000 vertical feet (300 m).

Lower tropospheric stability

Lower tropospheric stability (commonly referred to as LTS) is a meteorological parameter that is commonly used in atmospheric physics. It is computed at a given location on Earth and is defined as

where is the potential temperature
