Throughout the troposphere temperature decreases with height at a mean rate of 6.5°C/km and the whole zone is capped by either an inversion of temperature or an isothermal layer at the tropopause. (Source: WHIT) Definition from GEMET - will be refined.” [Environment Ontology] https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/ENVO?p=classes&conceptid=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FENVO_01000540 Related record: https://fairsharing.org/biodbcore-001540/ Where in the hierarchy: part_of “environmental feature” or “environmental system process” ?

As with the related issue in SRAO (https://github.com/FAIRsharing/subject-ontology/issues/53), I'll look at these after the COVID terms - but please carry on adding! Thanks :)
