Troposphere only
The base of the cloud occurs at the dewpoint temperature of the airmass. See: http://www.csgnetwork.com/estcloudbasecalc.html
Data from a radiosonde will give an indication of cloud height. Also, cloud base can be measured using a laser device. In many parts of the world, where equipment is expensive, and in fairly recent times before such equipment was commonly available, observers estimated cloud height.
They can be up to three kilometers high.
No, the wall cloud is a lowered section of the cloud base from which a tornado or funnel cloud descends. The dark cloud at the base of a tornado is called the debris cloud.

The New Zealand base in Antarctica is called Scott Base. It is located about three kilometers from the US base, McMurdo Station.
The distance from the apex to the base of a pyramid is known as the altitude.
The altitude of a triangle is measured perpindicular to its base.
altitude(height)=(Area * 2) /length(Base)
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
