Isopleths

An isopleth is any line on a weather map connecting points with equal values of a particular atmospheric variable; temperature, dew point, etc (google definitions). The example of an isopleth map above shows the date found while researching the chloride ion wet deposition in 2003. This map seems to be a variation of an isopleth map because there is no visible line connecting points with equal values, the numerals are just listed next to their dots.
