Need help with this question
Sea level airport with temp of 30 degrees Celsius, what would the temperature be at 14000' ASL if air became saturated at 6000' ASL?

Unsaturated adiabatic rate: 3 degrees per thousand feet.
Saturated adiabatic rate: 1.5 degrees per thousand feet.
Read the entire sections on properties of the atmosphere, lapse rates, vertical cloud formations, and thunderstorms.

Thanks for the lapse rates, I didn't know those
. I had already tried calculating the answer using both lapse rates but it no matter I got the help I was looking for, as I am concerned the topic is now done for me
