Sirs,
I recently purchased an altimeter and have noticed that it gives different 
altitude readings for different times of the day, surely because of changes in 
temperature.
How do I compensate the altimeter for changes in temperature ? Is there a 
formula or some other number to add or subtract ?
Cordially,
Prof. R. Prida
