Image: Tropospheric profile Uranus new
Description: This graph shows temperature profile in the troposphere and in the lower stratosphere of Uranus. Heights are also indicated. *The blue curve is from Lindal et al.[1]. The green curve is from Bishop et al.[2]The dashed blue curve is an extrapolation of the 1987 Lindal et al. data[1] (solid blue) using a constant lapse rate of 0.82 K/km.The filled pink circles with error bars are temperatures from West et al.[3]The graph also shows locations of the main cloud and haze layers according to 1990 Bishop et al.[2], Atreya et al.[4] and dePater et al.
