Answer:     Thermal inversion

Explanation:  Thermal inversion or change the position of the air layer, when the warmer layer of air is above the cold layer, which is usually not the case.  It happens due to a change in the normal temperature gradient, i.e. when the gradient becomes inverted. Such thermal inversions can occur in oceanic areas with a lot of upwelling near the coasts. Thermal inversion also occurs when sun radiation is less than radiation from the earth, which is the case during the night. The significance of these inversions is great, especially for air quality in polluted environments such as urban. The strongest inversions are during the winter and can then be dangerous due to poor air quality, which is measured by the AQI (Air Quality Index). The higher the AQI index, the greater the risk of bad air,  that is, the worse air.

Buffered solutions or buffers are solution which resist a change in PH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Buffers contain an acidic species to neutralize OH- ions and basic species to neutralize H+ ions Buffers are therefore made of weak acid-base conjugate pairs , such as HC²H³O² and C²H³O².
