Stratosphere
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
The stratosphere is the second layer of a planet's atmosphere, just above the troposphere. Traveling through the stratosphere in a starship was often times turbulent. (VOY: "Friendship One")
Baristatic filters, such as those used on the planet Tagra IV, cleaned a planet's air by shooting negative ions into the stratosphere. (TNG: "True Q")
In 2370, when Boraal II was undergoing atmospheric dissipation due to intense plasmonic reactions, the planet's stratosphere was in the process of breaking down when the USS Enterprise arrived in response to a distress call. (TNG: "Homeward")
One of the desert regions of a Nezu colony was noted to have substantial cratering, atmospheric shockwaves, and large concentrations of dust and other stratospheric contaminants. (VOY: "Rise")
