Scientific paper

Three aspects of the interaction between the troposphere and stratosphere are reviewed: (1) mass transport, (2) radiative processes, and (3) dynamical effects. The transport of constituents across the stratosphere is a major feature in determining the detailed composition of the stratosphere. In addition, since the radiation balance is affected by the composition at all levels, changes in radiatively important constituents in one atmospheric region may affect conditions in another. It is now established that the upward transfer of mechanical energy from the troposphere by planetary-wave motions plays a major role in driving the general circulation of the stratosphere.
