Inversion In meteorology, a departure from usual (normal) decrease or increase with altitude of the value of an atmospheric property; also, the layer through which this departure occurs (the inversion layer).
Inversions
With increasing height, air temperature within the troposphere and mesosphere drops uniformly with altitude at a rate of approximately 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters - known as the environmental lapse rate.
Inversion, temperature
A temperature inversion occurs when the temperature of air increases with increasing height. Generally the temperature decreases with height in the lower atmosphere, called the troposphere.
Inversion - in meteorology, a reversal of the normal atmospheric temperature gradient with height. An inversion is present in the lower part of a cap.
Inversion - Refers to a temperature inversion, i.e., an increase in temperature with height, or to the layer within which such an increase occurs.
Inversion - a layer of very stable air. Temperature increases with height.
Subsidence inversion - sinking air compresses and becomes warmer than air below.
Capping inversion - warm air moves overtop of colder air.
Inversion - Temperatures increasing with increased altitude, or height. A negative lapse rate.
Isobar - A line of constant pressure.
Inversion: A layer of air in which the temperature increases with height. Meteorological convention considers temperature decreasing with height as the norm, thus when temperature decreases with height, it is inverted.
INVERSION: An increase in temperature with height. The reverse of the normal cooling with height in the atmosphere.
ISOBAR: A line of equal barometric pressure on a weather map.
Inversion - Usually used in reference to temperature. It is an increase in temperature with height (which in the reverse of what usually occurs in the atmosphere).
Inversion - Generally, a departure from the usual increase or decrease in an atmospheric property with altitude. Specifically it almost always refers to a temperature inversion, i.e.
Inversion- an increase in temperature with height, a reverse of the normal cooling with height.
Iridescence- brilliant patches of green or pink sometimes seen near the edges of high- or medium-level clouds.
INVERSION (INV)- A temperature increase with height.
INVERTED TROF- This is a trough which bulges to the north. Mid-latitude troughs have a north to south amplitude but in the tropics the opposite is the case.
Inversion An increase in air temperature with height.
Ion An electrically charged atom, molecule, or particle.
Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist.
Inversion Layer
Atmospheric layer which the temperature increases or remains constant with height.
INVERSION
A departure from the usual increase or decrease of an atmospheric property with altitude.
Marine Inversion A temperature inversion created by the cooling of a warm airmass from below by the cool lakes on spring and summer days. The same effect can occur along the oceans anytime of the year.
Capping Inversion
Alternate term for Cap; a layer of relatively warm air aloft, usually several thousand feet above the ground, which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms.

Alternate term for Cap; a layer of relatively warm air aloft, usually several thousand feet above the ground, which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms.
Frontal Inversion: A transition zone between 2 different air masses. The temperature curve is the basic reference for locating frontal zones aloft.
Surface inversion See Radiation inversion.
Synoptic scale The typical weather map scale that shows features such as high- and low-pressure areas and fronts over a distance spanning a continent.
capping inversionAn elevated inversion layer that caps a convective boundary layer, keeping the convective elements from rising higher into the atmosphere.
Inversion- A condition in which air near the ground is cooler than air above it....a condition opposite the normal decrease in temperature with height.
Isobar- A line on a weather map that surrounds an area with the same atmospheric pressure.
Inversion
More fully known as a "temperature inversion". This occurs when warm air resides over colder air. Inversions occur in stable conditions.

INVERSION - A situation where the temperature increases with altitude - the opposite of the normal condition (where temperature decreases with altitude).
Inversion - A layer in the atmosphere where the temperature increases with height.
Isobar - A line connecting equal points of pressure.
High inversion fog(6)
A fog that lifts above the surface but does not completely dissipate because of a strong inversion (usually subsidence) that exists above the fog layer.

Thermal Inversion: Phenomenon that occurs when the variation in temperature presents a behavior contrary to the normal one relating to altitude. In the troposphere it occurs when, inside a specific layer, the temperature increases with altitude.

temperature inversion- an atmospheric condition in which a layer of warm air, usually from a high pressure system, moves over a colder layer, preventing it from rising or dispersing.
Trade wind inversion An elevated stable air layer that occurs on the eastern flank of a subtropical anticyclone.
temperature inversion: when a layer of air has a temperature increase instead of decrease with altitude.
thermal pollution: an increase in air or water temperature caused by heat from man-made sources.
Marine InversionTemperature inversion produced when cold marine air underlies warmer air.Marine PushA replacement of the current air mass with air from off the ocean. Temperatures are much cooler and relative humidities much higher.
Frontal InversionA temperature inversion that develops aloft when warm air overruns the cold air behind a front.Frontogenesis1. The initial formation of a front or frontal zone. 2.
Cap (or Capping Inversion) - A layer of relatively warm air aloft (usually several thousand feet above the ground) which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms.
Radiational InversionUsed interchangably with Nocturnal Inversion; a temperature inversion that develops during the night as a result of radiational cooling of the surface.
Transverse bands observed at low levels (called transverse rolls or T rolls) often indicate the presence of a temperature inversion (or cap) as well as directional shear in the low- to mid-level winds.
What is an 'inversion'?
A. The average condition of temperature change in the Troposphere is for there to be an overall decrease of temperature with increasing height: a positive lapse rate (see Q/A 2A.6).
inversion An anomaly in the normal positive lapse rate; usually refers to a thermal inversion, in which temperature increases rather than decreases with height.
Stability: Absolute Stability Inversion: Temperature warmimg as air ascends. Stability: Absolute Stability: Adiabatice lapse remaing at 5 degrees F., 3.0 degs. C. per 1,000 feet. Stability: Conditional Stability: Adiabatic temperature between 5 Deg.
Also called a capping inversion.
A layer of relatively warm air aloft (usually a few thousand metres above the ground) which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms.
They are produced by the interaction of a saturated stable air layer, usually an inversion, and a pattern of vertical wind shear, ...
Even atmospheric effects like inversion layers and the variation in air density introduced by temperature variation can produce echoes.
Surfaces of wind shear will also give an effect similar to friction, but the momentum transfer may accelerate air as well as retard it. The top of the stable layer under a temperature inversion is one example of this.
Front or frontal zone: an interface or zone of transition between two dissimilar air masses.Frontal inversion: a temperature inversion that develops aloft when warm air overruns the cold air behind a front.
