Short summary
This study shows how temperature inversions (warm air above cold) trap pollution in China. Using six years of national data, we find these "lids" frequently cause severe haze, especially in winter, by increasing pollution probability and intensity. Impacts differ by region and inversion type/strength. These findings help improve air quality forecasts and regional pollution control strategies.
