  "term": "Temperature Inversion",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. An instance when a warm air layer overlays a cooler air layer in the atmosphere, often suppressing vertical mixing of air.\n\n2. A layer of the atmosphere in which air temperature increases with height. When the layer's base is at the surface, the layer is called a surface-based temperature inversion; when the base of the layer is above the surface, the layer is called an elevated temperature inversion.",
