Les serristes donnent un sens particulier à l'inversion de température : pour eux il s'agit des cas où il fait plus froid sous serre non chauffée qu'en plein air. Cette situation s'observe par nuit claire, l'enceinte éliminant toute turbulence susceptible, par brassage, de limiter le refroidissement au voisinage du sol. 3, record 1, French, - inversion%20de%20temp%C3%A9rature
