turbosphere Meteorol.|ˈtɜːbəʊsfɪə(r)|
[f. turbulence + -o + sphere n.]
A region of a planetary atmosphere in which mixing occurs predominantly through turbulence.
1951S. Chapman in Jrnl. Atmospheric & Terrestrial Physics I. 201 Throughout the lower atmosphere, and up to at least 60 km height, turbulence suffices to mix the permanent constituents effectively, overcoming the diffusive tendency for each to distribute itself independently of the others, according to its molecular weight... It is suggested that this whole region be called the turbosphere. 1979J. K. Hargreaves Upper Atmosphere & Solar-Terrestrial Relations iv. 52 The well mixed part of the atmosphere, in which composition does not change with height, can be called the turbosphere. |
