What is a temperature inversion?
A temperature inversion is a thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.
bbShould be cold air
Warm air – prevents pollution in the city from moving away.
Pollution is trapped in the city causing smog. Resulting to respiratory diseases.
Resulting to a
microclimate.
