A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
In a temperature inversion, the temperature increases with height. Temperature inversions can prevent thunderstorms from forming and trap pollutants below the inversion.
When temperature inversion occurs, cold air underlies warmer air at higher altitudes.
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
In the lower area of the atmosphere.
lakes or small bodies of water
clouds
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.
Very stable

this is known as a temperature inversion
Warmer than the air at ground level.
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.

as altitude increases temperature decreases
Example sentence - It can be colder in the valley due to the temperature inversion in the winter.
