The traditional view of the atmosphere holds that the troposphere, which extends from the Earth's surface to an altitude of about 10 km, is the main 'weather layer'. However, in recent years ...

Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation ... in order to quantify exchanges with the free troposphere. High-resolution model simulations are utilized ...

Precipitation forms in the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere where we live, but it originates high above us. Snow is the most common type of wintry precipitation that forms in clouds cold ...
