TeachMeFinance.com - explain Nocturnal Inversion Nocturnal Inversion The term 'Nocturnal Inversion' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' Used interchangably with Radiational Inversion; a temperature inversion that develops during the night as a result of radiational cooling of the surface. Because the immediate surface (lower Boundary Layer) cools much more rapidly during radiational cooling conditions than the air just above (upper Boundary Layer), a temperature inversion can be created overnight, but typically erodes quickly after sunrise'.
