Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006698

A line drawn on a map or chart connecting points of equal magnetic declination for a specific epoch. Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north, indicated by a compass, and true geographic north. The specific isogonic line representing zero declination is called the agonic line, where magnetic north and true north are in alignment.
