Change of an atmospheric variable (temperature unless specified otherwise) with height. 

The rate of change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. A steep lapse rate implies a rapid decrease in temperature with height (a sign of instability) and a steepening lapse r [..]

The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.)

The decrease of an atmospheric variable with height, the variable being temperature, unless otherwise specified. The term applies ambiguously to the environmental lapse rate and the process lapse rate [..]

The rate of temperature decrease with increasing altitude. In the troposphere, the normal lapse rate is -6.5 C°/km, or -3.5 F°/1000 ft.

The rate of change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. The lapse rate is considered positive when the variable decreases with height.

The rapidity with which temperature decreases with altitude. The normal lapse rate is defined to be 3.6 degrees F per 1000 feet change in altitude. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is about 5.5 degrees F per 1000 feet, and the wet adiabatic lapse rate varies between 2 and 5 degrees F per 1000 feet.

The temperature lapse rate (Γ) is the negative of the vertical gradient of temperature. See sections 1.2.1 and 4.2.1.

The change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. A steep lapse rate implies a rapid decrease in temperature with height. This is a sign of instability.

The rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude. Depends on humidity.

Amount by which temperature of atmosphere alters with increase of height. Usually about 0.6°C per 100 metres. Is positive if decreasing with height, negative if increasing.

The rate at which life insurance policies terminate because of failure to pay the premiums. When policies are lapsed before enough premium payments are made to cover early policy expenses, the company must make up this loss from remaining policyholders. Therefore, the lapse rate will affect the cost of the policy.

The rate at which insurance policies terminate through failure of the insureds to continue making premium payments.

The rate of change of an atmospheric variable, usually temperature, with height. A steep lapse rate implies a rapid decrease in temperature with height (a sign of instability) and a steepening lapse rate implies that destabilization is occurring. The global average rate of temperature change with height in the atmosphere is 6.5°C/km. The adiabatic [..]

 The rate at which air temperature falls with increasing altitude.

A measure of the decrease in temperature per unit increase in vertical height in the atmosphere (approximately 0.6oC per 100 m).
