Be warned with any of these, they only work accurately in a uniform column of air, not inversions. Last time i used them it was minus 32 on ground, but minus 22 at 4000 feet, so be mindful of that.
I would think that an inversion like that would make your temperature correction calculation to be on the conservative side so therefore, no worry.

Good point though. Do these corrections take into account a standard lapse rate or a uniform temperature in the column of air.
