Question

A glance at a cross section of a warm or cold front (see Figures
9.2 and 9.3 ) shows warm air above cool or cold air; that is, it
shows a temperature inversion. Although temperature inversions
are associated with fronts, they have little adverse effect on air
quality. Why is this the case?
