The turbopause, also called the homopause, marks the altitude in an atmosphere below which turbulent mixing dominates. Mathematically, it is defined as the point where the coefficient of Eddy diffusion is equal to the coefficient of molecular diffusion. Because the molecular diffusion coefficient is dependent on both the composition of the diffusing molecule and the background gas, the turbopause altitude will be different for the different molecular species in an atmosphere. For example, in hydrogen (H2) dominated atmospheres, the helium (He) and methane (CH4) turbopause altitudes are different as a result of the different binary diffusion coefficients of helium and methane in molecular hydrogen.
