Consider the DJF and JJA zonal average vertical and latitudinal distribution of temperature. Calculate the lapse rate from 900 mb to 400 mb at 60°N and 60°S for both DJF and JJA. Remember that lapse rate is the negative rate of temperature change with height, not with pressure. Where is it the largest and where is it the smallest? Explain the differences between hemispheres and seasons.
