Troposferdeki

Troposferdeki is a Turkish adjective meaning “in the troposphere” or “of the troposphere.” It is formed from the noun troposfer (troposphere) with the locative suffix -de and the relative/definite suffix -ki, producing a phrase that denotes something located within the troposphere or pertaining to it. In Turkish, such formations are used to specify the spatial context of a noun, for example troposferdeki bulutlar (clouds in the troposphere) or troposferdeki gazlar (gases in the troposphere).

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8 to 12 kilometers, with regional variation (roughly higher near the equator and lower toward the poles). It contains the majority of atmospheric water vapor and is the region where most weather processes occur. In this layer, air temperature generally decreases with altitude, and phenomena such as cloud formation, precipitation, and storms take place. The upper boundary of the troposphere is the tropopause, which marks the transition to the stratosphere.

Usage and scope: troposferdeki is predominantly found in scientific, meteorological, and technical Turkish, where it helps distinguish elements that reside specifically within the troposphere from those in higher atmospheric layers. It functions as a descriptive modifier for nouns, enabling concise references to atmospheric phenomena, gases, clouds, or events tied to the troposphere.
