👉 The term "climatarchic" refers to a type of climate that is characterized by high levels of temperature inversion, where temperatures are significantly higher than at sea level. This phenomenon occurs when air masses from warmer regions (usually the tropics) reach colder regions (mainly the poles), resulting in an increase in the temperature of the lower atmosphere. The term "climatarchic" was coined by physicist and climate scientist Richard Alley in his 1970 paper "The Climatic
