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.
The change of temperature with height is known as the lapse rate. The standard lapse rate for the troposphere is a decrease of about 6.5 degrees Celsius (C) per kilometer (km) (or about 12 degrees F). Near the surface, the lapse rate changes dramatically from hour to hour on clear days and nights. Sometimes the temperature does not decrease with height, but increases.
