The anisotropy of the composition of this region can be explained by vertically propagating Rossby waves causing a circulation partially named for Brewer.

In this region, nitric acid and water condense into iridescent nacreous clouds around temperatures of -80 degrees Celsius. This is the lowest layer in which the lapse rate becomes negative, leading to a temperature (*) inversion, leading to a stable atmosphere with low vertical convective mixing. In this region, chlorine radicals react to produce chlorine monoxide and diatomic oxygen. The lower boundary of this region is the tropopause. Lying just below the mesosphere and above the troposphere, for 10 points, name this layer of Earth's atmosphere which contains the ozone layer.
