单词 troposphere
释义

tropospheren.

Brit. /ˈtrɒpəsfɪə/, U.S. /ˈtroʊpəˌsfɪ(ə)r/, /ˈtrɑpəˌsfɪ(ə)r/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: tropo- comb. form, -sphere comb. form.
Etymology: < tropo- comb. form + -sphere comb. form. In sense 1 after French troposphère (1908 or earlier in La division de l'atmosphère en troposphère et stratosphère d'après les résultats de l'exploration de la haute atmosphére , the title of a paper read by Teisserenc de Bort at a conference in Germany; compare quot. 1909 at sense 1). The region is so called because meteorological changes occur in it. In sense 2 applied to the ocean as an analogical development from sense 1, originally after German Troposphäre in similar use (A Defant 1928, in Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde (Sonderband) 470); compare stratosphere n. 3.
1. Meteorology. The lowest region of the atmosphere (below the stratosphere), marked by convection and a general decrease of temperature with increasing height. Cf. tropopause n.
