Lapse Temperature Gradient. This condition normally exists on a clear day when the middle and low clouds cover less than 30 percent of the sky and when the wind speed is less than 5 km/h. It is the least favorable condition for the enemy to employ chemical or biological agents. When a lapse condition exists, area coverage without diffusion will be enhanced with a steady low wind speed of 3 to 7 km/h.  4, record 3, English, - temperature%20lapse%20rate

The 1. 4-million pound mobile launching platform is what the Atlas 5 sits upon from the time it is stacked together in the VIF [Vertical Integration Facility] until the main engine is fired at liftoff.... The platform is 45 feet wide, 55 feet long and 185 feet tall to the top of the mast, which features a wind damper that holds the rocket steady while exposed to the weather on the pad and routes propellant lines to the Centaur and conditioned air to the payload inside the nose cone.  2, record 8, English, - wind%20damper

The Sun emits a steady flow of electrically-charged particles called the solar wind. As the solar wind expands supersonically into space, it creates a magnetized bubble around the Sun--the heliosphere. Eventually, the solar wind runs into the electrically-charged particles and magnetic field in the interstellar gas. The solar wind abruptly slows down from supersonic to subsonic speed, creating a termination shock. Before both spacecraft travel beyond the heliopause into interstellar space, they must pass through that shockwave.  2, record 9, English, - termination%20shock

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 CONT

It is a much shorter-lived feature than a "squall" and is also different in nature, being due mainly to mechanical interference with the steady flow of air; it is, therefore, a pronounced feature of airflow near the ground, especially where there are large obstructions. Other factors, notably temperature lapse rate and vertical wind shear, are important, however, in determining the existence and magnitude of gusts. Such factors may produce gusts in circumstances where mechanical interference with the flow appears to be insignificant, as in "clear-air turbulence".  5, record 10, English, - gust
