Isohypsic
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006702
Describing a line of constant geopotential height on a constant pressure surface. These lines are analogous to contour lines on a topographic map, representing the elevation of a specific pressure level in the atmosphere. They are frequently used on upper-air charts to depict the large-scale flow patterns and identify features like ridges and troughs.
