Hi yall, I've always thought that whenever there's a temperature inversion, there's a high possibility of windshear.
But today I read in my ATP book it says,
"If the temperature actually increases as altitude increases, a temperature inversion exists. This is the most sable of weather conditions."
And before this paragraph it was about if temperature drops at a much faster rate than the normal lapse rate, the more unstable the air will be.
So, what is it that I'm not understanding? Eventhough the air can be stable, but there could be windshear?
I appreciate in advance for all the help!
