In troposphere (the weather domain), the temperature 't' at height 'h' above the sea level in metres is given by (where, temperature at sea level is 15°C and t is in °C.) ?
Correct answer: B. t = 15 - 0.0065 h
- A. t = 15 + 0.0065 h
- B. t = 15 - 0.0065 h
- C. t = 0.0035 h - 15
- D. t = 15 - 0.0035 h
Explanation
The standard tropospheric lapse rate is about 6.5°C per kilometre, so temperature falls by 0.0065°C per metre from the sea-level value of 15°C.
