Another powerful factor in the heat wave was that a temperature inversion grew over the city, and air stagnated in this situation.
42.
In other words, he discovered an indication of a temperature inversion or at least of a zero lapse rate above this altitude.
43.
A sea of clouds forms generally in valleys or over seas in very stable air mass conditions such as in a temperature inversion.
44.
A temperature inversion increases the distance that lower frequency sounds can travel, by reflecting the sound between the ground and the inversion layer.
45.
A cloud base ( or temperature inversion ) will reflect some sound but not enough to set up a standing oscillation I think.
46.
These temperature inversions trap cold air and pollutants and allow thick smog to accumulate in the valley about three percent of the time.
47.
Air pollution could even be reduced, although this mountain-rimmed basin is vulnerable to wintertime temperature inversions that can trap pollutants at ground level.
48.
Asthma has been linked with environmental factors like atmospheric temperature inversions, fog, rainfall, high humidity, low wind speed, high air pressure and organic dusts.
49.
This is termed a temperature inversion, and the boundary between the two air masses may extend for or more along a stationary weather front.
50.
Sixty researchers from 14 agencies have gathered here to study temperature inversions, which can plague cities such as Denver and Los Angeles with smog.
