Vertical rate of change of temperature in atmosphere, assuming no heat exchange Wikidata

The rate of decrease of temperature with height of a parcel of dry air lifted upward through the atmosphere with no addition or deletion of heat. Wiktionary

The rate of change in an atmospheric variable with increase of height. The variable normally is temperature unless specified otherwise. This is a vertical direction of travel (up or down), and the temperature may rise or fall suddenly. Wiktionary
