8. Stratopause
   The `stratopause` (formerly `Mesopeak`) is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers, stratosphere and the mesosphere. In the stratosphere the temperature increases with altitude, and the `stratopause` is the section where a maximum in the temperature occurs. This occurs n...
