Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004619

A meteorological chart that displays atmospheric variables, such as pressure, temperature, or wind, at a fixed geometric altitude above mean sea level. These charts are commonly used for analyzing conditions near the Earth's surface or at specific flight levels. Surface weather maps are a common example of a constant-height chart, showing conditions at ground level.
