The height of the tropopause depends on the location, notably the latitude, as shown in the figure on the right (which shows annual mean conditions). It also depends on the season (1, 2). Thus, it is about 16 km high over Australia at year-end, and between 12 - 16 km at midyear, being lower at the higher latitudes.

The troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere. It contains approximately 75 percent of the atmosphere's mass and 99 percent of its water vapor and aerosols. The average depth of the tr...

The tropopause is higher than the global average in warm regions (e.g., tropics) and lower in cold regions (e.g., polar regions). If the atmosphere is warming due to climate change, then we might expect the height of the tropopause to increase.
