Question

Which of the following are types of inversion of temperature? \[ \begin{aligned} A.&\ \text{Radiation inversion} B.&\ \text{Convectional inversion} C.&\ \text{Subsidence inversion} D.&\ \text{Advection inversion} \end{aligned} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B and C only
• B. A, C and D only
• C. B, C and D only
• D. A, B and D only

Hint:

Major types of temperature inversion: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Radiation} &\rightarrow \text{Night-time Surface Cooling}, \text{Subsidence} &\rightarrow \text{Descending Air}, \text{Advection} &\rightarrow \text{Warm Air over Cold Surface}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “RSA = Radiation, Subsidence, Advection.”
