A temperature inversion occurs when a layer of warmer air sits over a layer of cold air. Keep in mind, warmer air rises. So, if the cold air near the ground warms up and tries to rise, it ...

Think of it as a lid where these two layers meet. What a temperature profile with an inversion looks like.

The atmosphere often is highly layered, particularly when a temperature inversion blocks intruding air from above and below. A University of Washington scientist says that can mean a lower layer ...

Here, a strong temperature inversion which shows up on the skew-t/log-p diagram (courtesy of the Shreveport National Weather Service and Unisys Weather) at 2,000 Feet, trapped a thin layer of ...

A temperature inversion is a layer in the atmosphere in which air temperature increases with height. An inversion is present in the lower part of a cap. The cap is a layer of relatively warm air ...

Science What effect does temperature inversion have on pollution? Inversion influences everything from visibility, air quality and even cloud formation. It can also cause a problem for pollution.

A record-low Pacific cycle could lock in coastal fog, delaying California's rainy season and setting the stage for volatile weather ahead.

The strange sights come from the cold 53-degree waters of the Strait, interacting with the unusually hot weather gripping the ...
