    A temperature inversion in Bratislava, Slovakia, viewing the top of Nový Most (2005). Inversion-created smog in Nowa Ruda, Poland, 2017 Temperature inversion phenomenon in the early morning near Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia where smoke that was emitted from an oil palm mill stayed close to the ground. The wind carried the smoke in the direction of ...

  3. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    Once this new stratification establishes itself, it lasts until the water warms enough for the 'spring turnover,' which occurs after the ice melts and the surface water temperature rises to 4 °C. During this transition, a thermal bar may develop.

  4. Lake stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_stratification

    However, the temperature of maximum density for freshwater is 4 °C. In temperate regions where lake water warms up and cools through the seasons, a cyclical pattern of overturn occurs that is repeated from year to year as the cold dense water at the top of the lake sinks (see stable and unstable stratification). For example, in dimictic lakes ...

  5. Marine layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_layer

    A marine layer is an air mass that develops over the surface of a large body of water, such as an ocean or large lake, in the presence of a temperature inversion. The inversion itself is usually initiated by the cooling effect caused when cold water on the surface of the ocean interacts with a comparatively warm air mass. [1]

  6. Tropospheric propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_propagation

    This is termed a temperature inversion, and the boundary between the two air masses may extend for 1,000 miles (1,600 km) or more along a stationary weather front. Temperature inversions occur most frequently along coastal areas bordering large bodies of water.

  7. Inversion temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_temperature

    The inversion temperature in thermodynamics and cryogenics is the critical temperature below which a non-ideal gas (all gases in reality) ...

  8. Capping inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capping_inversion

    An inversion occurs when the normal temperature (warm air below, cold air above) profile is reversed, creating a stable configuration of dense, cold air sitting below lighter, warm air. An elevated inversion layer is thus a region of warm air above a region of cold air, but higher in the atmosphere (generally not touching the surface).

  9. Anomalous propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_propagation

    Anomalous propagation refers to false radar echoes usually observed when calm, stable atmospheric conditions, often associated with super refraction in a temperature inversion, direct the radar beam toward the ground. The processing program will then wrongly place the return echoes at the height and distance it would have been in normal conditions.
