Abstract

In a forthcoming publication, we have discussed the role of subsidence and radiation in the production of inversions both qualitatively and quantitatively. It has been shown that subsidence combined with turbulence up to a definite limit 3 cannot adequately explain the development and maintenance of dry horizontal inversions in anticyclonic weather, but that radiation from the top of cloud or haze layers combined with turbulence up to a definite limit offers a more satisfactory explanation.
