Homosphere [is] the lower of two portions of the atmosphere as distinguished by the general homogeneity of their composition (the other portion is the heterosphere); it extends from the surface to an altitude of 80 to 100 kilometers above the earth, closely coinciding with the neutrosphere, and is characterized by uniformity of composition.  4, record 1, English, - homosphere

Most authors use the term "turbosphere" in the sense of "homosphere"; thus they may be considered synonyms. However, if "turbosphere" is considered strictly based upon the atmospheric division, they are not synonnyms. The turbosphere pertains to the dynamical process distribution: turbosphere, diffusosphere and exosphere and the hemosphere to the composition distribution: homosphere and heterosphere.  5, record 1, English, - homosphere

Based on atmospheric characteristics (temperature, dynamical process, particle distribution, chemical composition, ionization, etc.), the atmosphere can be divided into different layers.  5, record 1, English, - homosphere
