The physical characteristics of air change dramatically above mesosphere that result from the extremely low atmospheric pressures acting on the mixture of gases we call air.

Mesosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mesosphere (from the Greek words mesos = middle and sphaira = ball) is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. The me...

The newly installed medium frequency radar (MFR) at Platteville provides unique opportunities to assess latitudinal effects in both the ionosphere and mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) by comparisons with the long-established MFR at Saskatoon.

The mesosphere does not absorb any significant portion of solar radiation and as result, temperatures decrease with height throughout this layer. In fact, the mesopause at the top of the mesosphere may be the coldest place on Earth with frigid temperatures as low as -100 °C (-150 °F). ... Characteristics of the Mesosphere...
