Temperature Inversion: Causes, Characteristics, and Its Impact on Weather and Human Habitats
Introduction In the field of meteorology, understanding the vertical distribution of temperature in the atmosphere is essential to explain various weather phenomena. Normally, as altitude increases, air temperature decreases—a process known as the normal lapse rate, averaging around 6.5°C per 1000 meters. However, under certain conditions, this pattern reverses, and the temperature increases with height…
