Thanks for the welcome. I tried web search and landed on a huge number of blog posts and somesuch but what I'm looking for is a *book* that I can actually refer to in my research, and that dedicates a few pages to a description of physics behind the lapse rate process, or at least some...
Acknowledging the usual habit of this forum to explain everything and how it works, would you please find some literature that documents the physics of lapse rate?
