Pseudoadiabat

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008190",
  "term": "Pseudoadiabat",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A line on a thermodynamic diagram, such as a skew-T log-P chart, representing the temperature change of a parcel of saturated air undergoing a pseudoadiabatic process. Along this line, latent heat released during condensation is assumed to immediately fall out as precipitation, so it does not contribute to the parcel's heat content. Pseudoadiabats have a steeper slope than moist adiabats because they account for the removal of condensed water.",
