Hi guys, I have come across this question.

Ground temp was 29 degrees, cloud base was 2000'. What is the temperature of a parcel of air @ 4000' using DALR and SALR.

How would you tackle this one?

I would use an average DALR, which I believe to be around 5ºF/1000'?, up to 2000', then an average SALR which I believe to be around 3ºF/1000' for another 2000', giving the answer of 13º at 4000'.

Would anyone answer it any other way?
