A)diabatic cooling of the surface

C)warming of surface air
D)warming of the air aloft

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temperature inversions occur when the air temperature increases with altitude rather than decreases. This can happen due to several reasons, such as radiational cooling of the Earth's surface (diabatic cooling), air masses moving over cold surfaces, or warm air overriding cold air masses (fronts). However, warming of the surface air typically leads to a normal lapse rate, where temperature decreases with altitude, not an inversion.
