Temperature inversion layer occurs due to _____(a) Super refraction(b) Reflection(c) Diffraction(d) Increase in altitudeThis question was posed to me in semester exam.My enquiry is from Space Wave Propagation topic in section Space Wave Propagation of Antennas

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Super refraction

To elaborate: Around 50m of height from EARTH surface temperature increases with height, at this level the EM waves tend to REFRACT continuously than to reflect into ionosphere. This is termed as super refraction. REFLECTION and diffraction don’t affect the temperature inversion much.
