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.
Temperature increases as you gain altitude in the stratosphere and the thermosphere. Temperature decreases as you gain altitude in the troposphere and mesosphere. Air temperature varies in complicated ways with altitude. Near the Earth's surface, air gets cooler the higher you climb. As you climb a mountain, you can expect the air temperature to decrease by 6.5 degrees C for every 1000 meters you gain. This is called the standard (average) lapse rate. If air temperature is 30 degrees C at sea level as shown above, you can expect it to be around 10.5 degrees C at air altitude of 3000 meters because of the lapse rate. Plan an expedition!
