Turbosphere [is] that part of the troposphere where the mixing of the atmosphere is achieved more by convection than by diffusion. Its upper limit is the turbopause, an ill-defined layer about 100 km above the earth's surface. 3, record 1, English, - turbosphere
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The turbosphere, 0 to 100 km, is the region where convection effectively mixes atmospheric constituents. ... The homosphere, 0 to 85 km, has the same vertical extent as the turbosphere and the combination of troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. 4, record 1, English, - turbosphere
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Based on a dynamical process distribution, the atmosphere can be divided into: turbosphere, diffusosphere and exosphere. 5, record 1, English, - turbosphere

"Turbosphere" is a subdivision of the atmosphere based on its mixing process whereas the "homosphere" is a subdivision of the atmosphere based on its chemical composition. 5, record 1, English, - turbosphere

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The concept of the turbosphere around the Sun was formulated: it is a region in the solar atmosphere where chaotic turbulent velocities dominate over the regular radial expansion of the plasma. The turbosphere is delimited by the nonstationary and highly structured surface - turbopause - in the solar-wind formation region. 3, record 2, English, - turbosphere
