From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Summary

This graph shows temperature profile in the troposphere and in the lower stratosphere of Uranus. Heights are also indicated.

  • The blue curve is from Lindal et al..
  • The green curve is from Bishop et al.
  • The dashed blue curve is an extrapolation of the 1987 Lindal et al. data using a constant lapse rate of 0.82 K/km.
  • The graph also shows locations of the main cloud and haze layers according to 1990 Bishop et al., Atreya et al. and dePater et al.
