An isopleth is a feature of meteorological charts, connecting points which have an equal value of some variable at a given time. The variables include air pressure, temperature, wind speed, rainfall totals, etc. Some types are isobars, isohyets, isotherms, and isotachs. They are not always used for meteorological purposes.
