Solution

The tropospheric lapse rate is the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with an increase in altitude. Given that the lapse rate is 6.5 K/km, this means that for every kilometer we go up in the atmosphere, the temperature drops by 6.5 K.

The question provides that the near surface atmospheric temperature in Delhi is 304 K and asks for the temperature at an altitude of 2 km above Delhi.

Step 1: Calculate the total temperature decrease. This is done by multiplying the lapse rate by the change in altitude. In this case, it would be 6.5 K/km * 2 km = 13 K.

Step 2: Subtract the temperature decrease from the initial temperature to find the final temperature. In this case, it would be 304 K - 13 K = 291 K.

So, the temperature at an altitude of 2 km above Delhi would be 291 K.
