stratosfäärinen

Stratosfäärinen is a Swedish-language adjective derived from the word "stratosfären," meaning stratosphere. It describes something that is related to, occurs in, or pertains to the stratosphere, the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere, above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere, about 10 to 20 kilometers (6 to 12 miles) above the Earth's surface, up to an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles).

Phenomena or objects described as stratosfäärinen would typically be found within this atmospheric layer. This could include meteorological events unique to the stratosphere, such as stratospheric winds or temperature variations. It can also refer to scientific instruments or research conducted at these altitudes, like stratospheric balloons or aircraft designed for stratospheric flight. Ozone concentration is a key characteristic of the stratosphere, and discussions about stratospheric ozone depletion or the ozone layer might use the term stratosfäärinen. The term is primarily used in scientific and meteorological contexts in Swedish.
