Discussion
Which quantity does the tropopause separate in terms of entropy?
Answer: A
Potential temperature increases slowly through the troposphere and very rapidly through the stratosphere, so the isentropic surfaces are widely spaced below and tightly packed above. That packing is the strong stratospheric stratification. It is also why potential vorticity, which is inversely proportional to the isentropic layer thickness, is so much larger in the stratosphere. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
