Static Stability & Environmental Lapse Rate

Description
Conditionally unstable: This occurs when the environmental lapse rate (ELR) is between the dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) and the saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR). An air parcel will become buoyant if lifted to a critical altitude called the level of free convection (LFC).
