quiz me on – Met Exam 1

What is an inversion associated with?
Stability.
What is the adiabatic process?
A change in the temperature in a parcel of air without the exchange of heat energy with the surroundings.
How is a turbulence inversion formed?
As the surface temperature increases, the surface wind increases creating greater mixing. air is forced up or down starting the adiabatic process.The inversion forms at about 600-800 ft.
