Thus, the air reaches the 15˚C dew point at 1000 m. From that point, it cools at 2.5˚ C per 500 m and so its 12.5˚ C at the summit at about 1500 m. Then, it warms 15˚ C as its drops 1500 m. The rate of warming going down is always 10˚ C/1000 m, because there’s only air compression going on ................
