| Line of equal value of a function of two variables. For example, line of equal value of a meteorological element, represented as a function of the two co-ordinates, hours of the day and months of the year. Often the term is used loosely as a synonym of isogram ; any line on a chart or diagram drawn through places or points having the same value of a meteorological element. Source: European Union.

Mining | A. In a strict sense, a line or surface on which some mathematical function has a constant value. It is sometimes distinguished from a contour by the fact that an isopleth need not refer to a directly measurable quantity characteristic of each point in the map area; e.g., maximum temperature of a particular point b. A general term for a line, on a map or chart, along which all points have a numerically specified constant or equal value of any given variable, element, or quantity (such as abundance or magnitude), with respect to space or time; esp. a contour. Etymol. Greek isos, equal, + plethos, fullness, quantity, multitude. Syn:isogram; isoline;isontic line; isometric line e.g., maximum temperature of a particular point. (references) |
Weather | General term for a line connecting points of equal value of some quantity. Isobars, isotherms, etc. all are examples of isopleths. (references) |
