In this sounding, identify the level of the tropopause
Enter your answer in the text box below, then click Done.

Tropopause = hPa

The tropopause is located at about 250 hPa, at the level where the lapse rate changes to much more stable, as shown by the inversion in the lower stratosphere above that level. Note also that the maximum wind speed (100 kt) occurs near the tropopause level.
