Discussion
Which pollution problem results from a strong subsidence inversion?
Answer: B
An inversion suppresses vertical mixing, so emissions are confined to a shallow layer and concentrations build up, which is the mechanism behind winter smog episodes in many cities. Los Angeles owes its photochemical smog largely to the persistent subsidence inversion of the subtropical high. Long range transport requires the opposite condition of vigorous mixing and strong flow.
