What frequently happens on clear nights as a result of radiation cooling off Earths surface
What is temperature inversions?
300
For the forms of condensation to occur what must be saturated
What is air?
300
What air tends to rise
What is unstable air?
400
A slower rate of cooling caused by adding latent heat
What is wet adiabatic rate?
400
The cooler denser air acts as a barrier over the warmer less dense air rises
What is frontal wedging?
400
The most stable condition is when air temperature actually increases with height is
What is temperature inversion?
400
Its when condensation occurs in the air above the ground, tiny bits of matter serve as a surface for water vapor condensation
