atmospheric structure
atmospheric structure The broadly horizontal layering of the
atmosphere, the layers being distinguished by differences in the rate of change of temperature with height, which either favour or discourage the development of vertical exchanges (convection). From the surface of the Earth upwards the layers are: (a)the
troposphere, in which convection is often prominent, especially over warm regions, extending to the
tropopause at a somewhat variable height, generally about 11 km over middle and higher latitudes and 17 km near the equator;(b)the
stratosphere, in which there is much less vertical motion, and which extends from the tropopause to about 50 km at the
stratopause;(c)the
mesosphere, in which there is once again more convection, extending from the stratopause to a height of about 80 km at the
mesopause; and(d)the
thermosphere, extending from the mesopause to the effective limit of the atmosphere, at about 200 km.
