Meteorology
Advection inversion occurs when cool air blows in over an area, and warmer
air comes to lie over it.
In situations where warm air lies over cooler air, turbulence will form in the
warm air in connection with cloud formation.
Aircraft moving through the warm air layer will experience reduced
performance during the passage of the layer.
3.3.4.5 Inversions stabilize the weather
In connection with fronts where warm air lies over cold air, inversions also
form.
Inversions have a
stabilizing effect on
the air.
The inversion stops
rising air in a barrier
layer.
This also means that
pollution cannot rise
into the atmosphere.
In connection with inversions there will often be haze, fog or clouds. There will
be Wind shear / turbulence.
Occurs most frequently in cold months and at night in the summer months.
