Abstract
a rather narrow zone immediately above and below t'hc point designated as the tropopause. rlre mystery about the tropopause is, t'herefore, not primarily its location, bat rattwr the sharpness of the change of the temperature gradient' that is associated with it. The radiative processes and the other large-scale heat transport processes that cletermine the mean atmospheric temperature distribution probably also determine the large-scale features of the tropopause, such as its general location and its seasonal and large-scale spatial variations. Rut what is the reason for the often observed sharp change of the t'emperaturr gradient at the tropopause? What are the physical processes that are responsible for it's creation, maintenance,
