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.
An inversion can lead to pollution such as smog being trapped close to the ground, with possible adverse effects on health. An inversion can also suppress convection by acting as a cap. If this cap is broken for any of several reasons, convection of any moisture present can then erupt into violent thunderstorms.Temperature inversion can notoriously result in freezing rain in cold climates.ometimes the inversion layer is at a high enough altitude that cumulus clouds can condense but can only spread out under the inversion layer. This decreases the amount of sunlight reaching the ground and prevents new thermals from forming.
