Yes, the upper stratosphere is generally colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere's temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the lower stratosphere. However, the temperature starts to decrease again in the upper stratosphere due to the cooling effect of gases like ozone and molecular oxygen.
