Bertrand Piccard

My life and the life of my family has to do with exploration, with adventure. My grandfather was the first man in the stratosphere, and my father was the first to touch the deepest point in the ocean... For me, adventure and exploration is something in the blood.

The Beatles were in a different stratosphere, a different planet to the rest of us. All I know is when I heard 'Love Me Do' on the radio, I remember walking down the street and knowing my life was going to be completely different now the Beatles were in it.

It may well be said that the answer to the question: Of what do the cosmic rays in fact consist before they produce their familiar secondary radiation phenomena in the earth's atmosphere? can only be obtained from numerous measurements in the stratosphere.

American Physicist

Mario J. Molina

In contrast to the troposphere, the stratosphere is extremely dry and practically cloudless - the concentration of water vapor is measured in parts per million and is, in fact, comparable to that of ozone.

Mexican Scientist

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.

Indian Statesman

Charles Evans Hughes

When we deal with questions relating to principles of law and their applications, we do not suddenly rise into a stratosphere of icy certainty.

American Judge

William Hartnell

I haven't the slightest wish to get in a rocket and zoom through the stratosphere.

The stratosphere is one of the layers of Earth's atmosphere, not the surface or space.

Earth's Layers

The stratosphere is important for its ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

Ozone Significance

Commercial airplanes often fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid weather disturbances from the troposphere.

Commercial Flight

Stratosphere can be used to describe something that has reached an extremely high level or value.

Figurative Usage

Used metaphorically, 'stratosphere' can signify great success or fame.

Metaphor for Success

The word often implies an exaggeration and is not meant to be taken literally.

Exaggeration Implication

 have thought about how to exploit. And of course, we may be wrong -- this hasn't all been peer reviewed, we're in the middle of thinking about it -- but so far, it seems good. But it looks like we could achieve long atmospheric lifetimes -- much longer than before -- because they're levitated. We can move things out of the stratosphere into the mesosphere,

 This is observed data. This is modeled data. There's a good match because we understand the physics that controls the temperatures in the stratosphere and what that does to the winds around the southern oceans. We can look at other examples.
