[La] stratopause [est une] couche de séparation entre la stratosphère supérieure et la mésosphère. On situe la stratopause à une cinquantaine de kilomètres d'altitude dans l'atmosphère. Les températures qui sont plutôt stationnaires dans la stratosphère montent graduellement au-dessus de cette couche de séparation. 4, record 1, French, - stratopause

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
[La] mésocime [est la] partie de l'atmosphère, dans la classification désuète de Goody et Chapman, où, à cinquante kilomètres d'altitude, la température atteint son maximum. C'est la stratopause (stratopause, en anglais) qu'on situe maintenant dans cette partie de l'atmosphère; les termes «mésocime» et «mesopeak» sont donc à éviter. 4, record 1, French, - stratopause
