hello

just have a short question, not sure if i`m right!

Let`s assume you sit in an airplane on the airport`s surface at ISA with the correct QNH, consequently the altimeter will show the correct airport elevation.

You are sitting there for 2 h ,or whatever, and the temperature will increase to ISA+10!

Will the altimeter change or will it remain constant? And Why?

thx
