Isopleths

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/oakfield/meso/12dewsfc.gif
On an isoline map, we see the lines that connect areas with like response values to the question of study. Those lines, in any isoline map, are called isopleths. They have different names in some weather maps or geological maps, but in general, they are called isopleths. The isopleths on this map from July 16, 1996, connect areas with equal surface dewpoint temperature values.
