Extreme temperatures at the stratopause: record-breaking highs and lows revealed through radiosounding
RadiosoundingThe stratopause is a layer of the Earth’s atmosphere that separates the stratosphere from the mesosphere. It is located at an altitude of about 50-55 km (31-34 miles) above the Earth’s surface. The temperature at the stratopause is of great interest to scientists because it plays an important role in the dynamics of the upper
