Main Body

Key lines highlighted

Temperature inversion is phenomenon where higher temperature at higher level as against low temp at bottom.

Usually atmospheric temperature decreases as we goes up.

Favorable conditions for temperature inversion

1Orographic: Subsiding cold air mass and upper exposed to sunlight.
2Frontal inversion: Collision of sciences with cold air wind at bottom and hot air wind at top.
3Dynamic lifting - Air at surface becomes cold due to conduction, convention
4Atmospheric - Temperature inversion between layers of troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere & exosphere

Significance of temperature inversion

Geographic:

1Trapping of air in atmosphere (troposphere) - this situation ambient temperature at earth (greenhouse gas phenomenon)

(ii) Present natural and cyclonic tendencies during frontal contact.

iii) Deep during winter or surface.

Economic:

1Increase soil fertility & moisture content.
2Mountain protected against deep frost and upper areas protected from heat winter.

This temperature increase as unique phenomenon helps in sustaining various social, economic activities.
