# Calculate lapse rate from temperature and pressure pairs.
# This method is derived from the lapserate.f function, which
# used an extra integer parameter to determine which of 5 functions
# were to be used. However, only the "4" (pressure) function was
# being used.
#
# @param Tlo: Temperature at lower level (K)
# @param Plo: Pressure at lower level (mb)
# @param Thi: Temperature at upper level (K)
# @param Phi: Pressure at upper level (mb)
# @return: Lapse rate (C/km)
