  "term": "Adiabatic atmosphere",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A hypothetical atmospheric state where the temperature profile is such that a parcel of air, if displaced vertically, would undergo an adiabatic process and remain at the same temperature as its surroundings. This implies a constant potential temperature throughout the atmosphere. Such an atmosphere is neutrally stable for dry air.",
