Hi,

The Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) is the lapse rate for rising air which is saturated (RH 100%). It has an average value in temperate latitudes near the ground of 1.8 C/1000 ft or 6 C/1000m.

SALR is not constant, varying with temperature and approaching DALR as temperature decreases and/or increases.

All according to Oxford Meteorology (revised edition) p.9-1
