Boxing Day in the Pennines - a photo on Flickriver

Boxing Day in the Pennines

            We went for a family stroll on Boxing Day around our village and saw a spectacular temperature inversion, that I took on my phone. Usually air gets colder with altitude and when it reaches a certain height and temperature (known as the dew point) water droplets condense out of the air and form clouds.  But with an inversion the opposite happens as a layer of cold air is trapped under a layer of warmer air in still, windless conditions.  This type is known as a ground inversion and happens where air is cooled by contact with the cold ground. The temperature of this low-lying air drops below the dew point and water droplets condense out of the air. 
 When this ground layer is very cold, and when there is no wind to mix up the layers, a dense fog appears.  In hilly areas like the Peak District the cold air rolls into the low lying valleys, but above this the air is clear.   On the day I took this much of lowland England was blanketed in thick fog with disruptions at airports.
