Problem 2.2, p. 42, 6th Ed Solution: Relation between T and elevation: The temperature of the AT dT --5 earth's atmosphere drops = -0.005 dT = -0.005dZ AZ dz 1000 about 5C for every 1000 T m of elevation above the d . = -0.005 dz 15C=288K earth's surface. If the air T-288 = -0.005Z T = 288 -0.005Z temperature at ground dP 9 M level is 15C and the + Recall: dZ = 0 P pressure is 760 mm Hg, at cz Podp -gM Z 1 what elevation is the dz dz z 9.
