What it means
How fast does it cool?
Real lapse rates change with humidity, time of day and weather; inversions make them negative.
The math
How to convert K/km to °F/1000 ft
To convert kelvins per kilometer to degrees Fahrenheit per 1,000 feet, multiply by 0.54864.
Example: 9.8 K/km × 0.54864 = 5.37667 °F/1000 ft.
In the other direction, 1 °F/1000 ft = 1.82269 K/km.
