What is meant by inversion of temperature? |
|
Answer» There is decrease in temperature in troposphere, the lower most layer of the atmosphere, when one proceeds upwards to greater height from the surface of earth. But sometimes, in some special circumstances, the temperature increases with elevation rather than decreasing. This process of temperature rise along with increase in height is called temperature inversion. For thermal inversion, factors like prolonged nights, clear skies, calm air, dry air and glacial conditions are factors considered to be responsible. |
