    This means that at this layer L = 0 and T = 220 K, so that the exponential drop is faster, with H TP = 6.3 km for air (6.5 for nitrogen, 5.7 for oxygen and 4.2 for carbon dioxide). Both the pressure and density obey this law, so, denoting the height of the border between the troposphere and the tropopause as U :
