Isoline Map


Isoline maps represent the overall category of maps which use continuous lines to join areas of the same or similar values. These types of maps can include isobar, isotherms, contour lines and others. My map is from the U.K.'s Met Office and shows the 2009 summer mean temperature 1971-2000 anomaly. Areas are defined by color, with darker red having a higher anomaly or variance from the mean as measured in degrees Celsius.
