The usage of the adverb "accordingly"
Regarding the sentence:
It became colder accordingly as we went up higher.
Q1 Does it make sense?
Q2 I wanted to write a sentence which means pretty much the same as "The higher we went up, the colder it became." Did I make it?
Q3 By the way, in the clause "the higher we went up," is the "up" necessary? Is this sentence more appropriate? -- "The higher we went, the colder it became."
It became colder accordingly as we went up higher.

(a) As we went higher, it became colder accrodingly.
(b) It became colder accordingly, as we went higher.
(c) Our temperature dropped accordingly, as our altitude dropped.
