The atmospheric zone immediately above the tropopause, where the temperature remains fairly constant, is called the
- stratosphere.
- ionosphere.
- troposphere.
Explanation from PART66Online
In the lower stratosphere, above the tropopause, the temperature stops falling and stays nearly constant at about minus 56.5 degrees C. The troposphere instead shows a steady temperature decrease with height, while the ionosphere is a much higher charged layer not defined by constant temperature.
