Thermal Inversion
  • Normally, temperature decrease with increasing height, but some time situation get reverse and temperature increase with height is called Thermal inversion or inversion of temperature. 
  • Thermal inversion happens for a very short duration.
  • It is conditions when near earth surface temperature is cooler as compared to the upper layer, which is called thermal inversion.
Process for thermal Inversion:
  • By convection, heated air parcel goes up and space created by heated parcel covered by surrounding cooler air. By this process, temperature inversion conditions are developed.
