Question

The temperature-height profile is given by ___________

(a) T=Ti+Li (H-Hi)

(b) T=Ti+Li (H+Hi)

(c) T=Ti-Li (H-Hi)

(d) T=Ti-Li (H+Hi)

I got this question in semester exam.

Origin of the question is Standard Atmospheric Model in section Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) T=Ti+Li (H-Hi)

To explain: The temperature-height profile is given by T=Ti+Li (H-Hi), where

T= temperature

Ti=temperature at lower boundary layer at that height

Li=lapse rate

H=height

Hi=height at lower boundary layer at that height.
