Around sunrise. This is when the surface has had all night to cool off, radiating heat back into the atmosphere. When there are no clouds to trap that heat, the heat from the surface is free to leave the earth as quickly as the surface temperature permits. On these nights, the temperature at the surface is able to cool more quickly than the atmosphere directly above it, thereby creating an inversion in the typical atmospheric profile. Once the sun comes up and begins heating the surface, however, that inversion will disappear as the surface once again heats up more quickly than the air above it.

How a temperature inversion might form on a clear winter night?

An inversion is produced whenever radiation from the surface of the earth exceeds the amount of radiation received from the sun, which commonly occurs at night, or during the winter when the angle of the sun is very low in the sky In the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth) temperature as a general rule decreases with altitude. That is, the higher up in the air, or the higher up in the mountains, the colder the air becomes. A temperature inversion is a reversal of this general rule, such that the temperature at the surface is colder than the air above it, or the temperature at some altitude increases for a certain vertical distance. On a clear winter night, the earth may lose heat since there are no clouds to absorb heat and hold it near to the surface; in the morning when the sun warms the air a temperature inversion may result. - pianodriver


WHY DID SADAKO DEVELOPED LEUKEMIa?

She developed leukemia because of the radiation from the atomic bomb dropped by the United States during WW2.


Would you sense reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation when measuring the temperature of the ocean's surface?

If you were to measure reflected radiation then you would be measuring the temperature of the source of light (the sun)! So you need to look at the emmited radiation (measured during the night) to guage the temperature of the ocean's surface.


What is radiation inversion?

It develops during the night when the ground cools by giving off long wave radiation. The air near the ground is cooled by contact with the ground, and this layer eventually gets cooler than the air higher up. The inversion layer is enhanced by the presence of a large high pressure above, which usually is dry and has only light winds(so there is not much horizontal or vertical mixing).


What are the main factors that influence temperature?

There are primarily two factors that influence the temperature of the Earth, which are, the heating caused by sunlight during the day, and the cooling caused by the emission of infrared radiation into space at night. Greenhouse gases which intercept the infrared radiation are another significant factor.

Why is the temperature during the day so high in a desert?

Most deserts are located close to the tropics where they receive intense direct solar radiation. Also, deserts have little humidity and cloud cover that would insulate the land from this radiation.

Of the 85000 people who were exposed to radiation during the atomic bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki what percent developed cancer as a result?

There were 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki dead. Most of them died from radiation poisoning. The records doesn't show the cancer statistics.
