DescriptionTropospheric profile Uranus new.svg |
English: This graph shows temperature profile in the en:troposphere and in the lower en:stratosphere of en:Uranus. Heights are also indicated. *The blue curve is from Lindal et al.[1].
- The green curve is from Bishop et al.[2]
- The dashed blue curve is an extrapolation of the 1987 Lindal et al. data[1] (solid blue) using a constant lapse rate of 0.82 K/km.
- The filled pink circles with error bars are temperatures from West et al.[3]
- The graph also shows locations of the main cloud and haze layers according to 1990 Bishop et al.[2], Atreya et al.[4] and dePater et al. [5]
