On average, temperature decreases with height in the troposphere. The troposphere is bounded by the earth's surface and the tropopause (located at about 150 millibars in the tropics and 300 mb at high latitudes). In the troposphere on any given day, there are various layers between the surface and the tropopause where the lapse rates are far from average (the average environmental lapse rate is near 6.5 degrees C/km). Rawinsonde weather balloons measure temperature as they rise (this is the plot of the environmental lapse rate). Under certain conditions, the lapse rate in the atmosphere (defined as the change in temperature with height) is much above or much below normal.

Humans think of themselves as living on the surface of the earth, which, of course, is true. However, what is less obvious and more difficult for people to visualize is that life exists at the bottom of an ocean of air (the atmosphere).

The atmosphere is held tightly against the planet by the pull of gravity from within the planet. Investigations have revealed, however, that the atmosphere is not a homogeneous and unchanging mixture of gases from the surface of the planet on out into space. Rather, the atmosphere exists in layers and the conditions of temperature and pressure within each layer are different from the layers below it or above it.

15 at the surface and up to negative 55 at the tropopause. Temprature decreases by higher altitude (only in troposphere).

The Troposphere is the layer that we are in, so whatever the temperature is outside, that's the temperature of the troposphere in your present location.

Which atmospheric layer has the greatest range of temperature?

The atmospheric layer that has the greatest range of temperature is the troposphere. In the troposphere, water vapor plays a huge role in the fluctuation of temperatures.


What is the temperature range in the troposhere?

the temperature of the troposhere is always cold and goes up and down but at the beginning of the troposphere it is about 15 degree's C.


What is the pressure range of the troposphere?

Troposphere pressure range is 15 to 17PSI


Can air temperature be measured beyond the troposphere?

Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.


What is the estimated temperature of the troposphere?

The temperature of troposphere is not constant. It varies from -51C to 17 Celcius.


Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?

No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.


Can air temperature not be measured beyond the troposphere?

Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.


How does the temperature of the troposphere change as altitude increases?

As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere.


What forces the temperature to increase with the altitude in the troposphere?

If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.


In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?

Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere


What is the temperature of the troposphere?

50 degrees


Is the temperature in the troposphere?

the troposphere is the closest layer to earth, so it would be the coldest right? no. the troposphere uses greenhouse gasses to trap in the heat I'm not sure what the exact temperature is but....there you go!! :)
