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.
The inversion acts as a cap on the lower cooler layer trapping that air beneath it. On most days the sun will heat the lower layer to the temperature of the inversion and the two different layers mix and the inversion is no longer there. But we see many days in Colorado where the cap is never mixed out or broken.
