noun
definition
The lower levels of the atmosphere extending from the surface of the Earth or another celestial body up to the tropopause. It is characterized by convective air movements and a large vertical temperature change.
Examples of troposphere in a Sentence
Water vapor in the upper troposphere has a very large impact on the radiation balance.
There is emerging evidence for the presence of reactive bromine and iodine in the troposphere.
Latent heat is released in clouds, at higher levels, and tends to warm the middle troposphere.
This might dry the tropical upper troposphere and curb the tropical water vapor feedback.
The upper boundary of the troposphere is called the tropopause.
Also, a weaker increase of O 3 in the lower troposphere occurs due to an increase in the downwards transported O 3 values.
Erebus is the main point source for NO 2 (and very likely other reactive nitrogen oxides) in the antarctic troposphere.
Deep convective clouds also produce large extensive anvils in the upper troposphere and are a major source of tropical cirrus.
Understanding how baroclinic waves grew in simple models shed light on the mechanisms by which extra-tropical cyclones developed in the real troposphere.
It occurs mostly during the summer months, when atmospheric heating can cause convection in the mid troposphere.
