Suppose the temperature is 75 °F at NYC and 60 °F at

Suppose the temperature is 75 °F at NYC and 60 °F at Boston, 240 miles away. Suppose the wind is blowing directly from NYC towards Boston at 16 mph. Suppose further that the vertical turbulent heat flux is as follows at Boston: Height above ground 1000m 500 m surface Flux -0.04 Km/s +0.01 Km/s +0.06 Km/s What will the new temperature be at Boston if these conditions continue for 1 hour? What kind of boundary layer would this be? Make whatever reasonable assumptions you need to, and be sure and explain your work. Watch out for units!! If the wind were blowing from Boston to NYC (the opposite direction), with everything else the same, what would your answer be? What kind of boundary layer would this be now?
