Title: Describe inversion layers.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Examining Atmospheric and Meteorological Conditions

Description should include the following:

- Temperature inversion layers, also called thermal inversions or just inversion layers, are areas where the normal decrease in air temperature with increasing altitude is reversed and air above the ground is warmer than the air below it.
- Inversion layers can occur anywhere from close to ground level up to thousands of feet into the atmosphere.
