Stratospheric fighting brings a new dimension to warfare, taking it into the realm of the fantastic—like an Orson Wells[sic, meaning Orson Welles] drama in which cities are bombed from the stratosphere beyond reach of anti-aircraft fire and barrage balloon and in relative safety from enemy pursuit ships.
3.1945 August, “New Products and Processes”, in Orson D[esaix] Munn, editor, Scientific American, volume 173, number 2, New York, N.Y.: Munn & Co., […], ISSN 0036-8733, OCLC 910605343, page 114, column 3:
This new pen operates on the principle of capillary attraction. It writes with greater ease than the smoothest lead pencil; writes on cloth or paper submerged in water or in an airplane at the ceiling of stratospheric air travel without leaking; writes on glossy paper, soft paper, blotting paper, or cloth without spreading.
4.1965 March 25, Richard Willstätter, “Professorship at Zurich”, in Lilli S[chwenk] Hornig, transl., From My Life: The Memoirs of Richard Willstätter […], New York, N.Y.; Amsterdam: W. A. Cummings, OCLC 1123253637, page 201:
During the World War he [Jean Piccard] became professor of organic chemistry at Chicago, but later he changed his field. The famous stratospheric flights of his brother Auguste [Piccard]—they are very similar twins and their voices on the radio indistinguishable—caused him to turn to aeronautics and to take on a professorship in aeronautical engineering at the University of Minnesota.

Halocarbons (which include CFCs [chlorofluorocarbons] and halons) are potent stratospheric ozone depleters as well as greenhouse gases.

The stratospheric temperatures in Saturn's atmosphere are generally lower than those found in Jupiter's, which might be expected from Saturn's increased distance from the Sun. However, the stratospheric temperatures of Uranus and Neptune are noticeably and puzzlingly different.
7.2013, David Keith, “Technology and Design”, in A Case for Climate Engineering (A Boston Review Book), Cambridge, Mass.; London: The MIT Press, →ISBN, pages 109–110:
Because one can alter the entire climate with as little as 10,000 tons of super-efficient stratospheric scatters, an amount that could be lifted in a month by a single heavy lift stratospheric aircraft, there is extraordinary scope to develop new tools to allow more precise alteration of radiative forcing.
8.(figuratively, colloquial) Unusually or unreasonably high; astronomical.
The hotel charged stratospheric prices for a simple cooked breakfast.
9.1963, Ralph M[atthew] McInerny, “Aristotle”, in A History of Western Philosophy: From the Beginnings of Philosophy to Plotinus, Notre Dame, Ind.; London: University of Notre Dame Press, section C (Aristotle’s Logic), page 252:
Parmenides, we recall, denied the possibility of change because it seemed to involve a passage from non-being to being, from nothing to something. Discussed on this stratospheric level, his argument appears to be irrefutable.

The continued volatility of financial markets has spurred buyers to seek safe havens in super-prime real estate, from London to New York and Hong Kong, begetting stratospheric prices and minting a whole new category that defies the usual rules of the marketplace: the "trophy property".

ipa :/ˈma.re/[Etymology 1]
editSeveral theories exist. One possibility is Latin maiōrem, masculine and feminine accusative singular of maiōr (“bigger”), irregularly clipped before the [j] → [d͡ʒ] sound change (the regular form would be *măjoare). Compare also Dalmatian maur (“large”). Another proposed etymology is Latin marem, accusative of mās (“male, man”) (however, the reason for the shift in meaning or the exact semantic development is uncertain; it may be because men are generally larger than women, or from a crossing with magnus, or more likely from use in idiomatic expressions (with equivalents found in many languages) such as s-a făcut mare, which can mean "he has grown up/grown older/become a man or adult", and this may have been eventually extended to mean "he/she has grown bigger", with the sense of the word shifting from "man/adult" to "big"). Less likely is the influence from mare (“sea”)[1]. Also found in Aromanian as mari (“big, large”).
