WHAT DOES TEMPERATURE INVERSION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

temperature inversion

Inversion (meteorology)

In meteorology, an inversion is a deviation from the normal change of an atmospheric property with altitude. It almost always refers to a "temperature inversion", i.e., an increase in temperature with height, or to the layer within which such an increase occurs. An inversion can lead to pollution such as smog being trapped close to the ground, with possible adverse effects on health. An inversion can also suppress convection by acting as a "cap". If this cap is broken for any of several reasons, convection of any moisture present can then erupt into violent thunderstorms. Temperature inversion can notoriously result in freezing rain in cold climates.

Definition of temperature inversion in the English dictionary

The definition of temperature inversion in the dictionary is an abnormal increase in temperature with height in the troposphere.
