Geography · Climatology
With reference to winter temperature inversion, consider the following statements: I. During winter inversion conditions, cold and dense air settles close to the ground, while relatively warmer air overlies it, reversing the normal temperature gradient. II. This phenomenon is especially favoured under clear skies, calm wind conditions, and long winter nights, which enhance radiational cooling near the surface. III. The presence of winter inversion inhibits vertical air movement, thereby limiting the dispersion of pollutants near the surface. Which of the statements given above are correct?
