In troposphere (the weather domain), the temperature 't' at height 'h' above the spa level in metres is given by (where, temperature at sea level is 15°C and t is in °C ?
Correct answer: A. t = 15 - 0.0065h
- A. t = 15 - 0.0065h
- B. t = 15 + 0.0065h
- C. t = 0.0035h -15
- D. t = 15 - 0.0035h
Explanation
The standard tropospheric environmental lapse rate is about 0.0065°C per metre, so temperature decreases from 15°C as height increases: t = 15 - 0.0065h. The plus sign would incorrectly predict warming with altitude.
