By THOMAS BEAUMONT for the Des Moines Register, May 31, 2008 Two of the three Republican candidates for U.S. Senate in Iowa had differing outlooks Friday on how to solve the federal immigration problem as they debated issues before Tuesday's primary election.
Temperature inversion layers, also called thermal inversions or just inversion layers, are areas where the normal decrease in air temperature with increasing altitude is reversed and air above the ground is warmer than the air below it.his is why inversion layers are called stable air masses. Temperature inversions are a result of other weather conditions in an area. They occur most often when a warm, less dense air mass moves over a dense, cold air mass.
Inversion Layers. In a typical situation, the atmosphere (with regard to the troposphere) becomes cooler as elevation increases. An âinversionâ occurs when a section of the atmosphere becomes warmer as the elevation increases. Inversion layers are a significant factor in the formation of smog in Los Angeles because they create stable atmospheric conditions. Inversions act to prevent mixing in the lower regions of the troposphere, so pollutants become trapped quite easily and contribute to the formation of smog.
