A temperature inversion occurs when a layer of warm air traps cooler air near the ground, preventing it from rising. This phenomenon can lead to the formation of smog and poor air quality, as pollutants are also trapped within the cooler air layer. Inversions typically happen during clear nights when the ground cools rapidly, leading to a reversal of the normal temperature gradient in the atmosphere.
