latitude also has an impact

Please tell me what effect it has? Tibet is around 30 Deg North. Is there more oxygen at 30 Deg north and 10,000 or more feet up?

Temperature goes down with latitude or altitude going up.

I ran across an assertion once that moving 300 miles towards the nearer pole is the climatic equivalent of increasing altitude 1000 ft.

Don’t know how true it is.
