True in a closed environment p varies with t. But in the real world a static t can exist with many different ps at the same altitude.
It is also true in a local environment...a static T does not exist without a change in 'p' since T in a WAT curve for example every pressure altitude/temp combination leads to a corresponding ISA density altitude, the temp always varies with pressure and vice versa....
makes sense?
