Atmospheric boundaries

Stratopause

The stratopause (formerly mesopeak) is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers: the stratosphere and the mesosphere. In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with altitude, and the stratopause is the region where a maximum in the temperature occurs. This atmospheric feature is not exclusive to Earth, but also occurs on any other planet or moon with an atmosphere. On Earth, the stratopause is 48–55 km (30–34 mi) above sea level. The atmospheric pressure is around 1⁄1000 of the pressure at sea level. The temperature in the stratopause is −2.5 °C (27.5 °F). (Wikipedia).

04. Vertical Structure of the atmosphere; Residence Time

The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change (GG 140) Pressure and density decrease exponentially with altitude in the atmosphere. This leads to buoyancy effects in the atmosphere when parcels of air are heated or cooled, or raised or lowered in the atmosphere. Temperature varie

Launching a weather balloon!

I launch a radiosonde or weather balloon, and look at what's going on in the atmosphere with a PhD researcher in meteorology! Radiosondes are collections of instruments that scientists attach to big balloons and then launch into the atmosphere. They normally get about 30-40km up before th
