I am sorry, this is not fully correct,
as the tropopause level is latitude dependent.

While for medium latitudes it is indeed 10-12 km,
it is below 8 km for polar areas
and above 16 km for tropics.

http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Tropopause

"The tropopause occurs at approximately 20,000 feet over the poles and
at approximately 60,000 feet above the equator. The International
Standard Atmosphere assumes that the average height of the tropopause is
36,000 feet. "
