It's sort of hard to define exactly where the atmosphere ends and outer space begins (since the atmosphere gradually falls off as you go up in altitude), but one popular choice is the so - called «Karman line» at a height of 100 km (or around 62 miles) above sea level.

As you go higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases at a rate of 9.8 ºC / km (this is called the atmospheric lapse rate), and the atmosphere becomes transparent at an altitude where the temperature is 255 K (the calculated temperature of the earth without greenhouse gases!).

The mean annual air temperature at the long - term ELA of 1170 m is -1.5 °C, as estimated from the Wolverine weather station at 990 m altitude about 0.5 km west of the glacier.

In that case the surface temperature would still be essentially the same as without any atmosphere, but the atmosphere would have the adiabatic lapse rate up to an altitude of about 4 km.

The passage from the first to the second paragraph of Section 3.3 of the paper (incorrectly referred to as Section 3.2 in my example) results in roughly 200 % RH at 4 km altitude in the first column of air, which was the basis for my example.

In calm weather at 5 am in the bottom 1 - 2 km of air above the surface the ELR can be as strongly negative (temperature increasing with altitude) as the MALR is positive, an ultrastable situation.
