sztratoszferikus

The term "sztratoszferikus" is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "stratospheric" in English. It refers to the stratosphere, the second layer of Earth's atmosphere, situated above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. This layer extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers (6 to 31 miles) above the Earth's surface. The stratosphere is characterized by its stable temperature profile, with temperature increasing with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This temperature inversion prevents significant vertical mixing of air, leading to calmer conditions compared to the troposphere. Weather phenomena like clouds are generally absent in the stratosphere, though polar stratospheric clouds can form under specific conditions. The ozone layer, a crucial component of the stratosphere, plays a vital role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, thus protecting life on Earth. "Sztratoszferikus" might be used in contexts discussing atmospheric science, ozone depletion, or phenomena occurring within this specific atmospheric layer.
