TeachMeFinance.com - explain Radiational Inversion Radiational Inversion The term 'Radiational Inversion' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' Used interchangably with Nocturnal 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 these conditions than the air just above (upper Boundary Layer), a temperature inversion can be created overnight, but typically erodes quickly after sunrise'.
