Stratospheric weather

According to the temperature, density and material composition of the atmosphere, the atmosphere can be divided into five layers, and the vertical change of temperature is the main basis for atmospheric stratification. The atmosphere consists of clean air and water vapor impurities. Troposphere (0- 12 km): The temperature decreases with the increase of altitude (heat comes from the ground), which concentrates 3/4 of the atmospheric mass, almost all the water vapor and impurities, strong convective movement and complicated weather conditions.

Stratosphere (12-55 km): The temperature increases with altitude.

Intermediate layer (55-85 km): Temperature decreases with height.

Warm layer (85-500 km): Temperature increases with height.

Outer layer (above 500KM): Temperature increases with height. Upper atmosphere: The ionosphere can reflect radio waves.
