A temperature inversion is when the temperature rises with height in the troposphere rather than decreasing, as it typically does. This is most common at the surface, particularly at higher latitudes on cold mornings. It isn't dangerous to my knowledge, except perhaps specific interests in aviation for example.

Which is not an effect on temperature inversion?

One common effect on a temperature inversion is the trapping of pollutants close to the surface as they cannot rise through the stable layer of warm air above. This can lead to poor air quality. Temperature inversion does not directly cause an increase in wind speed.

What is an increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer called?

An increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer is called an inversion layer. This phenomenon is opposite to the normal decrease in temperature with increasing altitude in the Earth's atmosphere.


What get inverted in a thermal inversion?

In a thermal inversion, the normal decrease in temperature with altitude is reversed, leading to warmer air above cooler air. This can trap pollutants and lead to poor air quality, as the inversion prevents vertical mixing of the atmosphere.
