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.
A temperature inversion is a thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.
