The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth`s atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. ==Definition== Going upward from the surface, it is the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. More formally, the tropopause is the region of the atmosphere where the environmental lapse rate changes from ....

The boundary in Earth`s atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Its height is about 15-17 km over the tropics and 10 km nearer the poles, but it varies seasonally and with changes in weather.

The boundary between troposphere and the stratosphere. It is usually characterized by an abrupt change in temperature with height from positive (decreasing temperature with height) to neutral or negative (temperature constant or increasing with height).

The tropopause is a relatively thin atmospheric transition layer found between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The height of this layer varies from 8 to 16 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

the boundary layer between the troposphere and stratosphere , where an abrupt change in temperature lapse rate usually occurs; it is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 degrees Celsius per kilometer or less, provided that the average lapse rate between this level and all higher levels within 2 kilometers does not exc...

The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere (about 8 km in polar regions and about 15 km in tropical regions), usually characterized by an abrupt change of lapse rate. The regions above the troposphere have increased atmospheric stability than those below. The tropopause marks the vertical limit of most clouds and storms.

The boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere found between 8 to 20 km in altitude. The tropopause is higher over the tropics and lowest in the polar regions. It is characterized by an abrupt increase in temperature (the stratospheric temperature inversion). The tropopause generally marks the vertical limit of most clouds and storms.
