Here's the stratosphere cooler.

The concentration of hydrocarbons in the Uranian stratosphere above the haze is significantly lower than in the stratospheres of the other giant planets.

Nitrous oxide reacts with ozone in the stratosphere.

About 90 of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere.

The Uranian thermosphere, together with the upper part of the stratosphere, corresponds to the ionosphere of Uranus.

Tropopause The tropopause is the boundary region between the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere.

In the stratosphere, however, the temperature remains constant for a while and then increases with altitude.

Upper atmosphere Above the troposphere, the atmosphere is usually divided into the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.

You can dive into the stratosphere, and precisely dissipate that velocity, and come back out to the space station.

To put sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere would cost on the order of a billion dollars a year.

We can move things out of the stratosphere into the mesosphere, in principle solving the ozone problem.

So this lower bar is the upper atmosphere, the stratosphere, and it heats up after these volcanoes.

Stratospheric temperature measurements beginning in the 1970s also showed maximum values near the 1986 solstice.

Measuring the temperature change with height through the troposphere and the stratosphere identifies the location of the tropopause.

It injected more particulate into the stratosphere than any eruption since Krakatoa in 1883.

This is a cosmic ray experiment that has been launched all the way to the upper stratosphere to an altitude of 40 km.

The weak cooling efficiency due to the lack of hydrocarbons in the stratosphere above 0.1 mBar pressure level may contribute too.

But you better be the first one out of town as the real estate values go to hell.

In particular, in the stratosphere above about 20 km, the speed of sound increases with height, due to an increase in temperature from heating within the ozone layer.

It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from about , though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.

The Uranian ionosphere is denser than that of either Saturn or Neptune, which may arise from the low concentration of hydrocarbons in the stratosphere.

The region of the atmosphere where the lapse rate changes from positive (in the troposphere) to negative (in the stratosphere), is defined as the tropopause.

However, other evidence seemed to indicate that the cometary fragments had not reached the water layer, and the waves were instead propagating within the stratosphere.

Here's Mount Pinatubo in the early '90s. That put a whole bunch of sulfur in the stratosphere with a sort of atomic bomb like cloud.

Along with methane, trace amounts of various hydrocarbons are found in the stratosphere of Uranus, which are thought to be produced from methane by photolysis induced by the solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

You could put signed particles, say sulfuric acid particles sulfates into the upper atmosphere, the stratosphere, where they'd reflect away sunlight and cool the planet.

Other suggested effects of the impacts were seismic waves travelling across the planet, an increase in stratospheric haze on the planet due to dust from the impacts, and an increase in the mass of the Jovian ring system.

I was there to view something called a long duration balloon flight, which basically takes telescopes and instruments all the way to the upper atmosphere, the upper stratosphere, 40 km up.

The heating of the stratosphere is caused by absorption of solar UV and IR radiation by methane and other hydrocarbons, which form in this part of the atmosphere as a result of methane photolysis.

Most spacecraft, most notably the Space Shuttle are supersonic at least during portions of their reentry, though the effects on the spacecraft are reduced by low air densities.

The main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with altitude).

Now, the skeptics say, Oh, wait a minute, this could be variations in this energy coming in from the sun. If that were true, the stratosphere would be heated as well as the lower atmosphere, if it's more coming in.

This difference in temperature gives rise to extreme air pressure differences in the stratosphere, which, when combined with the Coriolis effect, create the polar night jets, racing eastward at an altitude of about .

Ethane and acetylene tend to condense in the colder lower part of stratosphere and tropopause (below 10 mBar level) forming haze layers, which may be partly responsible for the bland appearance of Uranus.

Upper atmosphere The middle layer of the Uranian atmosphere is the stratosphere, where temperature generally increases with altitude from 53 K in the tropopause to between 800 and 850 K at the base of the thermosphere.

Spectroscopic observers found that ammonia and carbon disulfide persisted in the atmosphere for at least fourteen months after the collisions, with a considerable amount of ammonia being present in the stratosphere as opposed to its normal location in the troposphere.

Consider the potential effects of a 50 megaton nuclear explosion, similar to the Tsar Bomba, detonated in October 1961, which shattered windows 900 kilometers (560 miles) away and sent a mushroom cloud rising above the stratosphere.

The idea behind this form of geoengineering as it's called, is that, as the planet heats up, we may be able to shoot sulfates and aluminum particles into the stratosphere to reflect some of the sun's rays back to space, thereby cooling the planet.

The Uranian atmosphere can be divided into three layers the troposphere, between altitudes of 300 and 50 km and pressures from 100 to 0.1 bar (10 MPa to 10 kPa) the stratosphere, spanning altitudes between 50 and 4000 km and pressures of between (10 kPa to 10 µPa) and the thermosphere corona extending from 4,000 km to as high as 50,000 km from the surface.
