The adiabatic temperature gradient (lapse rate) is temperature dependent

Hi again.

I forgot that the hydrogen on Jupiter and Saturn is diatomic. Being diatomic also means they can rotate. The rotational speed vr of the atoms in a molecule should be considered as well. I...

OK, the effect is low on Earth but what about Venus with 93 times more gas?

gamma = g/cp = g/839

since cp = 839 J/kg/K for CO2.

g on Venus, without correction for molecular motion is 8.87 m/s^2....

Some additional info, updates and corrections.

Other factors in meteorology are much less precise than 0.2% so this will not improve much of prognosis making.

With longitudinal direction above I...

Hi

Check the definition of the adiabatic heat gradient http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate
gamma = g/cp
where g is the total acceleration from gravity and centrifugal acceleration..
That...
