The region of the atmosphere extending from the top of the troposphere(the tropopause), at heights of roughly 1017 km, to the base of the mesosphere(the stratopause), at a height of roughly 50 km.  2, record 1, English, - stratosphere

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The stratosphere is characterized by constant or increasing temperatures with increasing height and marked vertical stability. It owes its existence to heating of ozone by solar ultraviolet radiation, and its temperature varies from 85°C or less near the tropical tropopause to roughly 0°C at the stratopause. While the major constituents of the stratosphere are molecular nitrogen and oxygen, just as in the troposphere, the stratosphere contains a number of minor chemical species that result from photochemical reactions in the intense ultraviolet radiation environment. Chief among these is ozone, the presence of which shelters the underlying atmosphere and the earth's surface from exposure to potentially dangerous ultraviolet radiation.  2, record 1, English, - stratosphere

La limite supérieure de cette région est appelée stratopause, la limite inférieure tropopause. L'altitude de la stratopause varie peu, sa température est de l'ordre de 270 kelvins (-3 °C), alors que la tropopause est plus variable. La stratosphère est une région calme de l'atmosphère, riche en ozone, qui absorbe les rayons ultraviolets du Soleil. La température y croît avec l'altitude.  2, record 1, French, - stratosph%C3%A8re

The troposphere extends from the earth's surface to an altitude of 8 to 10 kilometers at polar latitudes, 10 to 12 kilometers at middle latitudes, and up to 18 kilometers at the equator. It is characterized by a temperature decrease with height. The point at which the temperature ceases to decrease with height is known as the tropopause. The average vertical temperature gradient of the troposphere varies between 6 and 7 degrees Celsius per kilometer.  1, record 2, English, - average%20vertical%20temperature%20gradient

This inversion occurs nears the 150 millibar level, but can be a little higher or lower depending on season and weather. The tropopause inversion and the extreme stability associated with it inhibit UVV’s into the stratosphere.  1, record 3, English, - tropopause%20inversion
