Tropopause

The boundary layer between the troposphere and stratosphere where temperature stops decreasing with altitude and either remains constant or begins to increase. Typically found between 20,000 and 60,000 feet, varying with latitude and season. This level often marks the upper limit of weather phenomena and is significant for high-altitude flight planning and jet stream location.
