文摘

A new method to detect layers of temperature inversion is presented. The method has been validated using sounding data in the Po Valley (Italy). In future scenarios inverted lapse rate is projected to increase in the Po Valley. The increase in temperature inversions will be mainly in the warm period. Air stagnation events are also expected to increase by the end of 21st century.
