nice photo, but what is an inversion layer?

Layer of hot air trapped under a layer of cold air. Funky things happen where they meet.

dang, I thought he said invasion layer

linky

before christmas there was one over the whole of Edinburgh. from the Pentlands it was just a white sea all the way to the Ochills with just Arthur's Seat popping out. It quire blew me away. In Edinburgh everyone thought it was just another gloomy, foggy day.

And from the Ochils it was just a white sea all the way to the Pentlands…

Niiiiiiiiiiice

"Layer of hot air trapped under a layer of cold air." ..spot the mistake.

Nice pics though.

Makes me laugh how people from the clyde area think it's really polluted and unpleasant. Most I've spoken to have not visited the industrialised areas of the north of England though, or cardiff, so can be forgiven.

Seen one forming over Blyth beach yesterday but was at work so couldn't take pics.

It looked bloody freezing.
