“…Kirchner et al (2009) found temperature decreases in the range between 0.41 and 0.59°C/100 m for seven Alpine regions. Annual lapse rates compared for various regions in France and Italy ranged from −0.54 to −0.58°C/100 m (Rolland, 2003).…”

ABSTRACT:The vertical temperature structure in the area of Garmisch-Partenkirchen between the Loisach river valley and the highest mountain in Germany (Zugspitze, 2962 m a.s.l.) is analysed. Using long time series of daily mean, minimum and maximum temperatures from two meteorological stations, in the valley floor and on the mountain top, we studied seasonal variations in temperature lapse rates. By using daily data on weather types, significantly different altitudinal temperature lapse rates and daily temperature ranges for low and high pressure weather situations were found. There was no significant influence of snow cover in the valley on the lapse rate. At both stations, there has been an increase in temperature during recent decades. As there was a slight difference between these trends, the lapse rate has tended to become more negative, i.e. the difference between the mountain top and the valley has become more pronounced. In order to investigate the lapse rates in more detail, unpublished temperature data from 1989 to 1990 on slope transects near Garmisch-Partenkirchen were evaluated. Despite the fact that an exact description of the vertical structure of the atmospheric temperature is possible only from free air measurements, there are some indications that major inversions occur in the first 500 m above the valley ground, depending on season, weather situation and time of day.

“…The fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in mountainous ecosystems is similarly influenced by the vertical distribution of meteorological parameters. The results from the MONARPOP project showed that low temperatures enhance the deposition, and reduce the decomposition of POPs in soils (Kirchner et al, 2009).…”

“…This effect suggests higher concentrations of organic substances depending on the topography as deposition barrier for organic substances. However, this is discussed controversially and is not supported in general (Navarro-Ortega et al 2012;Guzzella et al 2011;Daly and Wania 2005;Kirchner et al 2009;Hangen et al 2011). Another temperature effect on the organic substances is the potential re-evaporation from soils, thereby reducing their concentrations (Brorström-Lundén and Löfgren 1998).…”
