Recent research has shown that increases in the height of the tropopause over the past two decades are directly linked to ozone depletion and increased greenhouse gases. LIVERMORE, Calif.

These events, called “tropopause folds,” are uncommon, but can happen during blasts of bitter cold air during the winter.

Scientists have shown that human activity is having an impact on the height of the tropopause - the boundary between the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) and the stratosphere. The ...

That region, the tropopause, is pushing up the boundary with the stratosphere by about 50-60 meters (about 165-195 feet) per decade. The rising is caused by warming temperatures near Earth's ...

The tropopause – a boundary within the atmosphere – is increasing in altitude due to climate change. The lowest layer of the atmosphere where we live and breathe is called the troposphere ...

"20 days before the peak rainfall, the western Tibetan Plateau and the northern side of the East Asian westerly jet near the tropopause are two transit points for the anomalous potential vorticity ...
