Definition of inversion for English Language Learners. : a change in the position, order, or relationship of things so that they are the opposite of what they had been.
Iâm sure most of you have heard the term inversion, but how many really know what an inversion is? Inversions occur in the atmosphere all the time and are responsible for a variety of weather.An inversion is just that, an inversion of the normal temperature profile going up in the atmosphere.Normally the air cools at 5 degrees (f) for every 1000 feet you go up in the atmosphere; hence it is colder as you go up in elevation.he cold air is dense and shallow (only a few thousand feet thick) and undercuts warmer air in place creating the inversion in temperature. This is a likely scenario: Denver is a rather cold, 18 degrees today while Evergreen in the foothills is a toasty 42.
