  "id": "MLC-T-MET-001748",
  "term": "Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "(abbrev. MALR)- The rate at which the temperature of a parcel of saturated air decreases as the parcel is lifted in the atmosphere. The moist adiabatic lapse rate (abbreviated MALR) is not a constant like the dry adiabatic lapse rate but is dependent on parcel temperature and pressure.",
