Italic text'Italic textI reworked the definition at the top of the article, to bring in convection immediately. The earlier versions defined the stratosphere in terms of altitude, but altitude is an accidental attribute. The stratosphere is defined by its, well, stratification; the altitude, while important, is secondary. zowie 17:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)zowie

[edit] Ozone depletion

The section on ozone depletion in this article is poor. A concise summary of the main article would be useful. I may do this at some point but don't hold your breath...

I also think that (like Troposphere) this article needs a lot of work. Again something for my long to do list.--NHSavage 21:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tried to fix

Someone from 67.85.154.210 vandalized this article on Dec 13, 2006. I reverted it to the previous version, and request the Wiki Gods to dispatch a tactical nuclear strike against the offender. Well, banning his IP would be nice too.

YOU ARE NOT TELLING ME THAT MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE GASES IN THE STATOSPHERE AND THE OTHER LAYER OF THE ATOMOSPHERE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

[edit] Stratospheric dust?

The article The Miracle of the Sun (aka miracle of Fatima, 1917) gives one skeptic's hypothesis as "Steuart Campbell, writing for the 1989 edition of Journal of Meteorology, postulated that a cloud of stratospheric dust changed the appearance of the sun on 13 October, making it easy to look at, and causing it to appear yellow, blue, and violet and to spin. In support of his hypothesis, Mr. Campbell reports that a blue and reddened sun was reported in China as documented in 1983. [1]." -- Stratosphere has no information on stratospheric dust. Is there another article on this subject on Wikipedia? Should such information be added to Stratosphere? -- 201.19.77.39 12:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
