...The upper atmosphere, from 90 km to 500 km above sea level, where the temperature increases with altitude. At 90 km, the temperature is about minus 80°C, and from there to 200 to 250 km above sea level, the temperature rises sharply. Above that, the rate of temperature rise slows down, and approaches a constant value at the thermopause, which is at an altitude of 350 to 500 km. The source of heating in the thermosphere is the extreme ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and the thermospheric temperature is governed by solar activity, and is characterized by large diurnal variations. *Some terminology explanations that mention "thermopause" are listed below.

…上層大気の高度90kmより500kmまでの,気温が高度とともに上昇している部分をいう。高度90kmで気温は氷点下80℃程度で,ここから高度200~250kmにかけて気温は急に上昇し,それより上では気温上昇率は緩やかになり,高度350~500kmの熱圏界面thermopauseで一定値に近づく。熱圏の加熱源は太陽の極紫外放射で,熱圏温度は太陽活動度によって支配され,大きな日変化を示すのが特徴である。… ※「thermopause」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
