Temperature gradient
From FIS Freestyle wiki
A Temperature gradient is a physical quantity that describes in which direction and at what rate the temperature changes the most rapidly around a particular location.
The temperature gradient is a dimensional quantity expressed in units of degrees (on a particular temperature scale) per unit length.
The SI unit is kelvin per meter (K/m).
Temperature gradients in the atmosphere are important in the atmospheric sciences (meteorology, climatology and related fields).
