Der Jahresgang des mittleren geographischen Höhengradienten der Lufttemperatur in den verschiedenen Klimagebieten der Erde

Abstract: The average vertical gradient of air temperature, like all other climatic elements, shows a variation throughout the year, its course running differendly in the different climatic regions of the world. An investigation of this feature was suggested by H. Lautensach and carried out by R. Bögel, who made use of the data of 297 pairs of terrestrial weather Stations on mountains throughout the world. Because of the all too great distance between two stations of a pair, auxiliary stations had frequently to be used. Wherever possible observation data of the free atmosphere were used for comparison. Nine types of annual variation of the vertical temperature gradient were found. Middle Europe is governed by the normal type where the maximum occurs in summer and the minimum during the winter. In the regions of subtropical climate with dry summers (Köppen's Cs climate) the Cs-Type, showing a summer minimum and a winter maximum, prevails. The type of the poles of coldness is characterised by .... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1182
