Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004654

A graphical representation that uses contour lines to depict the spatial distribution of a particular variable across a geographical area. In meteorology, these maps commonly show atmospheric pressure at a constant height, or the height of a constant pressure surface. They are fundamental tools for analyzing weather patterns and forecasting.
