Calculate the temperature using the average lapse rate for the locations listed below. Round your answers to one decimal place. 1. Currently the temperature is 72 F in Fullerton (elevation 150 ft). Using the ALR, calculate the temperature in San Bernardino (elevation 1200 ft) and San Gorgonio Peak (elevation 11.499 tt). 2. Looking back at the temperatures listed in Part 2, do the temperatures between Lihue and Kilauea follow the average lapse rate? Average Lapse Rate: 3.6 F/ 1000 feet or 6.5 C/ 1000 meters Steps for calculating the Lapse Rate Example: If the temperature is 93.6 F at 1000 feet, what would the temperature be like at 5000 feet? Step 1: Find the Elevation Difference: Maximum - Minimum 5000-1000 = 4000 feet Step 2: Set up equivalent fractions and cross multiply: (Temp) 3.6F= X (Elevation) 1000 ft 4000 ft (4000 3.6)/1000-14.4F Step 3: If calculating for a higher elevation, subtract degrees from starting temperature. If calculating for a low elevation, add degrees to starting temperature. 93.6 F-14.4 F = 79.2 Fat 5000 ft
