The University of Florida IFAS Extension newsletter posted a good scientific review of temperature inversions in the atmosphere that you might find useful. For this time of year they are especially important to know about because some frost prevention methods like using fans or helicopters depend on the presence of an inversion to help bring warmer air down to the surface from higher up in the atmosphere. You can read about it at https://nwdistrict.ifas.ufl.edu/phag/2018/04/06/atmospheric-temperature-inversions-why-are-they-important-to-farmers/. Keep in mind that their methods for identifying an inversion can be clues but are not definite proof that an inversion does or does not exist.

Temperature inversions form a kind of air layering or stratifying effect. It becomes visible when smoke or fog rises and then seems to abruptly hit an invisible ceiling. Credit Judy Biss
