That's 7.1× as steep as the geothermal gradient — nothing on our list beats it. Climbing the 3,800 m from Chamonix to the top of Mont Blanc, that is 678.8 °C colder.

What it means

How fast does it cool?

Real lapse rates change with humidity, time of day and weather; inversions make them negative.

The math

How to convert °F/100 ft to K/km

To convert degrees Fahrenheit per 100 feet to kelvins per kilometer, multiply by 18.2269.

Example: 9.8 °F/100 ft × 18.2269 = 178.624 K/km.

In the other direction, 1 K/km = 0.054864 °F/100 ft.
