Tropopause qui, au lieu de former une structure d'un seul tenant, est caractérisée par la superposition de plusieurs feuillets de tropopause presque horizontaux. 2, record 1, French, - tropopause%20multiple

En fait, la tropopause, par la forme de son profil thermique vertical, prend souvent l'aspect d'une tropopause multiple superposant des «feuillets» qui, en gros, se disposent en un escalier descendant en direction des régions polaires, où le passage de la troposphère à la stratosphère est du reste beaucoup plus progressif et donc imprécis. 3, record 1, French, - tropopause%20multiple

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A frequent atmospheric condition in which the tropopause appears not as a continuous single "surface" of discontinuity between the troposphere and the stratosphere, but as a series of quasi-horizontal "leaves" which are partly overlapping in a step-like arrangement. 2, record 2, English, - multiple%20tropopause
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The multiple tropopause is most common above regions of large horizontal temperature contrast in the troposphere. In the more extreme conditions the components of the multiple tropopause are not distinct, and the tropopause is then just a deep zone of transition between troposphere and stratosphere. 3, record 2, English, - multiple%20tropopause

Condition atmosphérique souvent rencontrée dans laquelle la tropopause n'apparaît pas comme une «surface» de discontinuité unique entre la troposphère et la stratosphère, mais comme une série de «feuillets» quasi horizontaux qui sont en partie imbriqués en escalier. 1, record 2, French, - tropopause%20multiple
