When does conditional stability occur? (ELR – Environmental Lapse Rate; DALR – Dry adiabatic lapse rate; WALR – Wet adiabatic lapse rate)

Correct Answer: DALR > ELR > WALR
In this case, the value of the environmental lapse rate is between the wet and dry lapse rate. Notably, the dry adiabatic lapse rate is always greater than the moist adiabatic lapse rate. The dispersion varies case by case.
