For the purposes of this particular discussion, yes. We're just trying to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature, that's all.

WillowIX is correct, there are many layers at vastly differing temperatures in the atmosphere. Fortunately, Hayashi's son is in the 4th grade, so we don't have to dust off our graduate-level p-chem/physics books. *whew* [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
