[edit] Summary

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] using a constant lapse rate of 0.82 K/km.

The graph also shows locations of the main cloud and haze layers according to 1990 Bishop et al.^[2], Atreya et al.^[3] and dePater et al. ^[4]
