It would be nice to have an image of a mountain and then some data points for a presentation type.
Is this basically the same as Mountain climate? Pfly 04:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure if both articles should merge because not any mountains have Alpine climate, only the highest ranges (or lower located in highest latitudes). The problem is that the Mountain climate is partially overlapping the Alpine in the Andes reference. In my opinion, the Mountain climate article should be extended but deprived of the Andes reference (at least the highest Andes) and both should have a See also section calling for the each other.

I disagree with the comments about the dry adiabatic lapse rate. If I lift an unsaturated parcel of air, it will cool at roughly 9.8 degrees C per kilometer. However, in a typical vertical profile of temperature in the atmosphere, the temperature as height increases doesn't cool at the dry adiabatic lapse rate. A standard assumption is that temperature cools with altitude at a rate of 6.5 degrees C per kilometer. 76.84.25.108 ( talk) 04:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
The Wikipage about Köppen climate claffication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification puts Alpine Climate into GROUP H. I think this two page should be aligned, however I'm not a climatologist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.0.186.198 ( talk) 20:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

@ Pbrower2a: By off chance do you still have the source where you found record temps for Mauna Loa? The NOAA page only seems to list daily highs and lows. The Feb record is much higher than the other months and I'm wondering if it's a typo for 65°F. Daß Wölf 00:54, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
The 85°F high looks like a typo, barring something strange (a near-miss of a volcanic eruption which would warm the local area?)... it is the NOAA page, and I am averaging the daily high and low as an estimate.
That would be a possible explanation consistent with a 'legitimate' outlier (that is, not a misreading). If anything, people are likely to reject an outlier in exchange for another reading. Figure that any full eruption of a volcano would destroy the equipment reading climatic data much as a hurricane would knock out a wind vane. Pbrower2a ( talk) 01:59, 22 June 2019 (UTC) .
