So, by the time we came to start the trek I wasn't worried about how well my body would cope with hiking at altitude (the summit of the Laguna 69 hike was 4600 metres above sea level); the only concern I had was that the experience would not live up to my (incredibly high) expectations.
So, not only was my interest peaked by the fascinating history of the Incan civilisation, and the stunningly diverse and beautiful landscapes through which the trail passed, but I also relished the fact that the altitude presented a physical — and potentially also a mental — challenge for me.

The most immediate addition is the flying squirrel suit that you encounter in the very first level, which lets you glide slowly after a jump, get a single altitude boost while in midair by doing your spin move, and cling to walls for a few seconds (though I found myself inadvertently sticking to walls at times I didn't want to as often as times I did).
Because the lapse rate is not zero, changing the altitude near the top of the atmosphere where infrared radiation escapes freely to space allows adjustment of the surface temperature by means of the addition of greenhouse gases.

Nothing explains this unusually cold and snowy weather more than the fact that there was snow on the ground for the first 932 miles of the trip, only when we dropped into a long mountain valley with an altitude that was less than 500m (1600ft) was there not snow by the road.
• You are possibly aware that the land surface temperatures are not actually of the land, but the near surface air temperatures, and I seem to recall that in the past you believed that they are strongly influenced by atmospheric CO2 levels which you claimed are evenly mixed globally including at ~ 3,000 metres altitude at Moana Loa.

If you can't reach the answer by considering Equation 8 itself, consider the lead - up to it, where Velasco et al point out that the state density as a function of both velocity and altitude (Equation 5) is not the product of state density as a function of altitude alone (Equation 6) and state density of a function of velocity alone (Equation 7)-- as it would be if temperature were independent of altitude.
The total energy by volume is not unchanged with altitude.
If we could get a free transfer of energy to altitude, it doesn't mean an isothermal outcome if conduction of temperature is influenced by the gravitational force field.

I would not however accept that this rephrasing is equivalent to AM's phrasing «water vapor condensation in any adiabatic process is necessarily accompanied by reduced air pressure» because the latter carries with it the implication that if significant condensation occurs at a fixed altitude, with no other effect such as failling rain, then there is a reduction of air pressure.
The altitude of the tropopause increases a bit by this process as radiation alone is not capable for the new level of energy flux at the level of the earlier tropopause.
While BLUE is by definition unbiased, the contingency of bias can not be excluded, for instance in a location at a very high altitude with decreased temperature due to altitude.
There was no significant change in the area of eight other glacier lakes which were situated at a higher altitude and not created by melting.
It's said by suspected fossil fuel lobbyists and the idiots Trump has appointed to oversee environmental agencies that «scientists don't agree» over global warming, actually the problem is that the results don't agree, inasmuch as the graphs tend to be polynomial — also it's quite difficult to measure methane concentrations, it appears, as they vary considerably according to altitude.
this happens in places where the climate is NOT dominated by Latitude altitude and season.
say it has been predicted that «the average temperature in the semiarid northwest portion of China in 2050 will be 2.2 °C higher than it was in 2002,» and they report that based on the observed results of their study, this increase in temperature «will lead to a significant change in the growth stages and water use of winter wheat,» such that «crop yields at both high and low altitudes will likely increase,» by 2.6 % at low altitudes and 6.0 % at high altitudes... Even without the benefits of the aerial fertilization effect and the anti-transpiration effect of the ongoing rise in the air's CO2 content, the increase in temperature that is predicted by climate models for the year 2050, if it ever comes to pass, will likely lead to increases in winter wheat production in the northwestern part of China, not the decreases that climate alarmists routinely predict.»
To that you answer if the temperature ever starts to rise, due to say volcanic heat, or upwelling to water's surface, the heat is immediately removed by the power of evaporation as infrared - resonant gases chug heat straight up through the atmospheric mix to belch it out radiatively at higher altitude; while simultaneously dragging other, non-infrared resonant gases upward with them, to also dump THEIR heat radiatively, from a higher position than they would have, had the refrigerative cycle not taken place.
(Some of the cooling is due also to the decrease in stratospheric ozone but the amount and altitude distribution of the cooling apparently can not be explained solely by this mechanism.)
