At what height does the stratosphere start? Going by this table would it
be 226hPa?

As far as I know the stratosphere starts at the tropopause - the top of the troposphere - and that varies considerably. On the 12 UTC Camborne ascent to


That is the geography but for the physics it is where the water barrier becomes law.
Hence temperature inversions?

Is any of the above what happened between you and Google?
Do they think you snitched on them to the government about their tax shelter in Bermuda or something?

WinkipedarstleThe border of the troposphere and stratosphere, the tropopause, is marked by where this inversion begins, which in terms of atmospheric thermodynamics is the equilibrium level. At moderate latitudes the stratosphere is situated between about 10-13 km (33,000-43,000 ft; 6.2-8.1 mi) and 50 km (160,000 ft; 31 mi) altitude above the surface, while at the poles it starts at about 8 km (26,000 ft; 5.0 mi) altitude, and near the equator it may start at altitudes as high as 18 km (59,000 ft; 11 mi)./Winkipedarstle

MMThe border of the troposphere and stratosphere... the tropopause, is considered the demarcation line, where this inversion begins/MM
