(category theory) For a given morphism f : X → Y, its right inverse (if it has one) is a morphism s : Y → X such that f∘s= mbox id_Y.

(meteorology) An atmospheric condition in which a cooler layer of air lies below a warmer layer of air that functions as a "ceiling" for the cooler layer, interfering with normal atmospheric circulation and trapping pollutants.

(algebra) A set of algebraic structures (which are part of a concrete category; e.g., groups) and a set of morphisms between them (e.g., group homomorphisms) which all together form a small category which is the image of a contravariant functor whose domain is a directed poset.

(algebra) A subset of the Cartesian product of all the members of an inverse system, such that a member M of the subset is a sort of “cross section” of the inverse system (as fiber bundle) induced by the morphisms of it. (If i<j in the indexing poset then f_ij:A_j→A_i in the inverse system and if a_i∈A_i, a_j∈A_j are components of M then f_ij(a_j)=a_i).

the inverse element with respect to multiplication; the reciprocal
