Where do the temperature inversions occur in the atmosphere?

In meteorology, temperature inversions occur in the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface, known as the troposphere. Temperature inversions in the atmosphere occur when a cool layer of air close to the Earth's surface is covered by a warm layer above.

Under normal conditions, the temperature of the air in the atmosphere lowers with altitude. When a temperature inversion occurs, the temperature rises with altitude. There are four types of temperature inversions: ground inversions, turbulent inversions, subsidence inversions and frontal inversions. These temperature inversions in the troposphere greatly affect precipitation, visibility and cloud formation near the Earth's surface.
