Cependant, dans certaines conditions (rayonnement terrestre nocturne notamment), la température, à quelques centaines de mètres d'altitude, est supérieure à ce qu'elle est au sol. Les polluants se trouvent alors freinés dans leur ascension et en quelque sorte bloqués sous une «couche d'inversion» qui joue le rôle d'un véritable couvercle thermique. Si, au même moment, il n'y a pas de vent, les polluants s'accumulent et les teneurs au sol augmentent dans des proportions importantes. 3, record 1, French, - couche%20d%27inversion
