"For the troposphere and stratosphere, we have a lot of data, and numerical modelling for this region is almost perfect," Kaoru Sato, a professor of atmospheric physics at the University of Tokyo ...

The troposphere is the layer of atmosphere approximately 10 km thick above the Earth's surface, containing 90% of the atmospheric mass. However, ... In the stratosphere, ...

First, as I mentioned, is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where all weather occurs. It begins at the ground, and extends upward to about 6.2 miles above earth’s surface.
