Chapter 5, Problem 40P
As an aircraft flies through a cold front, an onboard instrument indicates that ambient temperature drops at the rate of 0.7° F/min. Other instruments show an air speed of 400 knots and a 2500 ft/min rate of climb. The front is stationary and vertically uniform. Compute the rate of change of temperature with respect to horizontal distance through the cold front.
