tropopause
The tropopause is the boundary layer in the Earth's atmosphere which separates the troposphere (the lowest layer where most weather events occur) from the stratosphere (the layer above the troposphere). It signifies the limit above which water vapor rarely exists and clouds do not form. This boundary layer is characterized by an abrupt change in temperature as height increases.
