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.
Luckily for us most of them above the ultra-violet frequency are blocked by the molecules of air and, in the statosphere, of ozone. The variation of temperature through the troposphere, the place where we live, is simple: as the pressure is less with altitude, moving air cools down by adiabatic effect. But, starting from the stratosphere, the air gets so thin that some cosmic rays in the higher frequency range warms up the very few molecules since the distance between the is much greater. Note that, to start with, the stratosphere sees a pretty constant temperature with higher altitude. Then it increases. But it is the stop in decrease that prevents clouds and resulting winds to enter the stratosphere and makes the tropopause the ceiling of our weather.
