The atmosphere is both barotropic and part baroclinic.
Barotropic is very consistent, no air masses, no fronts and is characteristic of the "tropics"
Baroclinic is much more variable. Different air masses, cold fronts and warm fronts, development of cyclones. Baroclinic is characteristic of extra tropical regions.
Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.
The atmosphere viewed from Earth is called the exosphere.
The atmosphere
it is the ozone layer in the atmosphere because it is what keeps the atmosphere in check of what is happening in the atmosphere.
The greatest concentration of nitrogen on the Earth is found in its atmosphere. The atmosphere is approximately 78 percent nitrogen.

A barotrope is a term used in fluid mechanics to describe a substance or fluid that remains at a constant density regardless of changes in pressure. In other words, the density of a barotrope does not change with pressure. This property is often used to simplify mathematical models and simulations in fluid dynamics.
kelvin's circulation theorem describes the general case for inviscid barotropic flows - almost all real flow systems are neither. Turbulence is therefore an inevitable consequence if flow rates are large enough.
