  2. Lapse rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate

    From 11 km up to 20 km (65,620 ft or 12.4 mi), the constant temperature is −56.5 °C (−69.7 °F), which is the lowest assumed temperature in the ISA. The standard atmosphere contains no moisture. Unlike the idealized ISA, the temperature of the actual atmosphere does not always fall at a uniform rate with height.

  3. Troposphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troposphere

    From the planetary surface of the Earth, the average height of the troposphere is 18 km (11 mi; 59,000 ft) in the tropics; 17 km (11 mi; 56,000 ft) in the middle latitudes; and 6 km (3.7 mi; 20,000 ft) in the high latitudes of the polar regions in winter; thus the average height of the troposphere is 13 km (8.1 mi; 43,000 ft).

  4. Tropopause - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropopause

    The tropopause is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2°C/km or less, provided that the average lapse-rate, between that level and all other higher levels within 2.0 km does not exceed 2°C/km. [1] The tropopause is a first-order discontinuity surface, in which temperature as a function of height varies ...

    a lapse rate given per kilometer of geopotential altitude (A positive lapse rate (λ > 0) means temperature decreases with height) In the above table, geopotential altitude is calculated from a mathematical model that adjusts the altitude to include the variation of gravity with height, while geometric altitude is the standard direct vertical ...

    Average maximum yearly temperature is 28.7 °C and average minimum is 21.9 °C. The average temperature range is 5.7 °C only. Temperature variation throughout the year in Aracaju is very damped, with a standard deviation of 1.93 °C for the maximum temperature and 2.72 °C for the minimum temperature. [6]

  7. Typically, air temperature rises throughout the day and peaks in the afternoon. But on a Miami summer night, the air temperature might drop to the low 80s but humidity and the amount of water in ...

  8. Diurnal temperature variation - Wikipedia

    This explains why an area like the Pinnacles National Park can have high temperatures of 38 °C (100 °F) during a summer day, and then have lows of 5–10 °C (41–50 °F). At the same time, Washington D.C. , which is much more humid, has temperature variations of only 8 °C (14 °F); [ 1 ] [ dead link ‍ ] urban Hong Kong has a diurnal ...

    Your doctor will suspect osteoporosis if you have an overall height loss of 1.5 inches or more, or a height loss of 0.8 inches or more from your last measurement, Litt says.
