*the turbopause marks the altitude in the earth’s atmosphere below which ‘turbulent mixing’ dominates*
.
(the region below the ‘turbopause’ is known as the ‘homosphere’, where the chemical constituents are well0mixed and display identical ‘height distributions’; in other words, the chemical composition of the atmosphere remains constant in this region for chemical species which have long ‘mean residence times’)
(highly reactive chemicals tend to exhibit great ‘concentration variability’ throughout the ‘atmosphere’, whereas ‘unreactive species’ will exhibit more ‘homogeneous’ concentrations)
(the region above the ‘turbopause’ is the ‘heterosphere’, where molecular diffusion dominates and the chemical composition of the atmosphere varies according to ‘chemical species’)
.
(the ‘turbopause’ lies near the ‘mesopause’, at the intersection of the ‘mesosphere’ and the ‘thermosphere’, at an altitude of roughly 100 km)
