COMMUNICATION IN RAINY CONDITIONS: A COAT OF MANY COLOURS

Abstract

...The troposphere is the Earth's lowest atmospheric layer, accounting for 75% of the atmosphere and containing 99% of its water vapor. Composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), it experiences significant turbulence and is where most weather events occur, extending from the surface to about 8 km at high latitudes and 16 km at the equator. Temperature decreases with altitude by approximately 6°C per km, facilitating the vertical movement of air that leads to cloud formation and precipitation. The tropopause, the boundary above the troposphere, has a stable temperature, while above it; the stratosphere prevents convection, limiting weather...
