Abstract
“Stratosphere” is used herein to refer to the middle atmosphere, i.e., the region between the top of the troposphere at 8 to 15 km and the base of the thermosphere at approximately 80 km. In this region, radiative, photochemical, and dynamical processes are closely related. The layer is also coupled with the atmospheric regions above and below it through exchanges of mass, momentum, energy, and chemical constituents.
