Tottenham Hotspur reveal more about what the club's new north London stadium will look like.
Although the actual atmospheric lapse rate varies, under normal atmospheric conditions the average atmospheric lapse rate results in a temperature decrease of 6.4 Â°C/km (3.5 Â°F or 1.95 Â°C/1,000 ft) of altitude above ground level. The measurable lapse rate is affected by the moisture content of the air (humidity).he decrease of an atmospheric variable with height, the variable being temperature unless otherwise specified. In the lower regions of the atmosphere (up to altitudes of approximately 12,000 metres (39,000 ft), temperature decreases with altitude at a fairly uniform rate.
In the troposphere, temperatures decrease as the altitude increases as it loses heat emitted from the surface of the Earth. In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with increasing altitude as the amount of ozone-absorbing ultraviolet rays increases. In the mesosphere, temperatures decrease as altitude increases and can reach -194 degrees Fahrenheit. By contrast, temperatures in the thermosphere can reach over 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.Learn more about Atmosphere.
