CTS - Aviation Weather Theory Questions and Answers Graded A+ Standard Atmosphere was created by: Averaging conditions to create an idealized atmosphere. The standard temperature lapse rate in the lower layers of the atmosphere is: A decrease of 2° C per 1,000'. If the air temperature is +8°C at an elevation of 1,350 feet MSL and a standard (average) temperature lapse rate exists, what will be the approximate freezing level? 5,350 feet MSL. Moving up in the atmosphere, unsatur...
