Can anyone explain why the rate of dry warming jumps to 2 degrees per 200m at 2800m? Isn't the dry adiabatic lapse rate a consistent 1.33c per 200m?

So why does it increase at a rate of 1º/200m from the top on the right 4400m? Surely this is the DLR as well (since the air is dry) and the DLR should remain consistent?

When I said not in both I really meant for any particular subject, yes conversions are actually part of the sylabus, but I would think lapse rates are only tested in one regime!

Thanks foxmoth. The bit I hadn't realised was that it is still saturated for a while on the leeward side!
I wasn't looking to study in both, but I wanted a video to help understand, and that was the measurement they used.
