My question concerns interpolating values on the winds aloft chart:
How would you find the wind direction and temperature at a level lower than what the winds aloft chart forecasts? Here I have winds aloft data at FL050 and Surface winds at 2' MSL.
I need to know the wind direction at 3000' for cruise and temperature for TAS.
Here are the values:
Field elevation: 2' Winds: 07005KT 30°C
Winds aloft: FL050 Winds: 23006KT 18°C
Desired cruising altitude: 3000'
