Question 14Explain how temperature inversion affects atmospheric conditions and its implications for weather and air pollutionGS1GS1
तापमान व्युत्क्रम वायुमंडलीय परिस्थितियों को कैसे प्रभावित करता हैं और स्थानीय मौसम प्रबंध और वायु प्रदूषण स्तरों के लिए इसके क्या निहितार्थ हैं? How does temperature inversion affect atmospheric conditions and what are its implications for local weather patterns and air pollution levels? (Answer in 250 words) 15 Marks
Introduction
Temperature inversion is defined as inversion of air movement due to placing of a warm days over scale me. this is contrary to the fact that temperature decreases with increasing height.

Main Body
change in atmospheric circulation of the air.
since the inversion also occurs at junction between troposphere and stratosphere, it influences the upward draft.
Implications on weather patterns and air pollution levels
weather patterns:
1stagnancy of local weather conditions [unclear text - urban heat island effect]
2At chilly regions, temperature inversion causes frost conditions.
3Prevents movement of air and hence a high pressure condition is created.
4Prevents rainfall.
5creates fog in northern areas of India.
air pollution levels:
0Increase in smog formation – (smoke + fog)
1No escape, to vehicular emissions of the urban areas increases pollution.
2Increases the influence of ozone pollutants and aerosols in urban areas.
