isoline—A line of equal value of a variable quantity, i.e., an isoline of temperature is an isotherm, etc. See isobar, isotach, etc.
isoshear—A line of equal wind shear.
isotach—A line of equal or constant wind speed.
Isotherm An isoline connecting all points of equal temperature.
Latent heat Heat energy is stored in one of three states- ice, water, or water vapor. The energy is absorbed or released in each phase change from one state to another.
Isolines on these maps usually represent the heights of a constant pressure surface, such as the 500 mb surface.UPRUpperUpslope FlowSame as Orographic Lifting; air that flows toward higher terrain, and hence is forced to rise.
in the advection of variables like temperature, moisture and vorticity. Assessing advection on weather maps is dependent upon two factors; 1) the strength of the wind and 2) the angle of the wind relative to the lines of equal value (isolines) of the ...
Height Contours: Isolines which denote the distribution of equal heights of a particular atmospheric pressure on a constant-pressure map ...
Weather maps that are produced for the portion of the atmosphere above the lower troposphere, generally at and above 850 mb. Isolines on these maps usually represent the heights of a constant pressure surface, such as the 500 mb surface.

Isoline: A line of equal value.
Iospleths: (lines of equal value).
Isoshear: A line or area of equal wind shear.

Isothermal: Equal or constant temperature.
Also called an isoline. ISOTACH A line connecting equal wind speeds. ISOTHERM The line of equal or constant air temperature. If something is isothermal, it is of equal or constant temperature with respect to either time or space.
