Mountain Inversions

Mountain Inversions is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by a temperature inversion layer that forms within the mountain boundary layer, in which atmospheric temperature increases with altitude due to radiative cooling of mountain surfaces and subsequent cold air pooling in valleys, distinguishing it from free-atmospheric lapse rate patterns.
