| Lapse Rate
| Typically, the temperature of the atmosphere changes with altitude.
The amount of change is known as the Thermal Lapse Rate,
or simply, the Lapse Rate when the context is understood.
| Overview
| An explanation of the Lapse Rate and an introduction to the charts
| | Standard Atmosphere
| A discussion of the 1964 and 1976 Standard Atmospheres
|
In addition, the are several charts
| Seasons
| This compares the seasons - winter, spring, summer -
and has notes explaining DALR, SALR, ELR
| | Winter
| 2 days in February
| | Summer
| 4 days in August
|
I have written a Windows program
(described at
Lapse Rate Animations)
that allows you to look at a full year one day at a time.
