The stratosphere is extremely dry, due to its extremely cold temperatures. The coldest part between the troposphere and the ...

Therefore, K-H instability related to tropopause folding is the main mechanism causing this aircraft turbulence. where z is the vertical direction, u and v are the zonal and meridional wind components ...

For an increase in water depth of 50–100 m, the critical magma mass eruption rate required for eruption columns to reach the tropopause increases by an order of magnitude. Finally, we estimate that ...

A polar vortex collapse is set to unleash harsh winter-like conditions across North America. A polar vortex is a large atmospheric region characterised by low pressure and cold air around either of ...

The coldest part between the troposphere and the stratosphere is called the tropopause, which blocks water from entering the stratosphere. There are many more features that make the stratosphere ...

A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences sheds light on the complex relationship between methane emissions and the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer. The research ...

At the top of a cumulonimbus cloud, the tropopause—where the troposphere meets the stratosphere—stops ascending winds, Meteo France Forecast Engineer Alexandre Flouttard adds. “That ...

Cavallo’s team discovered long-lasting air circulation patterns called tropopause polar vortices that appear months before cyclones. This, he said, may increase warning time for Arctic storms.
