Both soundings exhibit superadiabatic lapse rates within the surface-1000 hPa layer and dry adiabatic lapse rates between 1000 and 900 hPa.
The temperature profile was adjusted (if necessary) below 850 mb to ensure that a dry adiabatic lapse rate was not exceeded.
Since the high temperature at Detroit on 6 April was 24[degrees]C (75[degrees]F), an afternoon sounding across southern Lower Michigan would have shown the temperature decreasing at the dry adiabatic lapse rate up to at least 700 hPa.
