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 region where a maximum in the temperature occurs. This occurs not only on Earth, but on other planets with an atmospher... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratopause

The stratopause is a relatively thin atmospheric transition layer found between the stratosphere and the mesosphere. The height of this layer is about 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Found on http://www.physicalgeography.net/physgeoglos/s.html
