Funny old day,I flew the Cub at 10.15 this morning,really difficult to start,not normally a problem well below this temp, I had to land after 35 mins because my hands were so cold.
Then....
Fantastic clear sky and warm sun this afternoon.
Got that wrong then!
Maybe nothing to do with inversion,but I've flown in much lower ground temps without having this problem.

Nice photos IO as always but I am only going to accept the first one (just) as a genuine inversion - clounds on the dew point boundary dont count.
As you can see in my 'photo there is hardly a cloud in the boundary layer!

I was only thinking this morning looking at the sky that there was a great photo to be had up there and somebody has done it!! Great pic Fuji, thanks for posting. Good shots from IO too, although I wouldn't call them inversions as such.

This one
was +6C at 4500ft and +2C on the ground. The "bump" in the distance are some hills. This is common winter high pressure (with an inversion) weather - OVC008 down below and tops say 3000ft and blue skies above.
But I agree that if you are looking for an inversion without a cloud layer, with the haze ending right at the inversion, then yours is the one
