Atmospheric stability and lapse rate

You're right about the ****-poor nature of FAA texts though. Not just
the bad meteorological explanations, even their basic physics is wrong.
They blather on about "centrifugal force", which doesn't even exist!

Well, except that unlike the whole lapse rate confusion, the idea of
"centrifugal force" is perfectly valid, depending only on one's frame of
reference, and complained about only by overly pedantic engineers and
laymen.

And physics instructors while grading test answers.
