Isotherm Map of the U.S.



Isotherm maps represent temperature differences across a given area. In this example, the surface temperature is graphed across North America. The graph indicates very high temperates in the southeast, southwest and middle U.S. The temperatures start to drop near the northern Rocky Mountains and into Canada. Theses measurements were taken in June and help explain the extent of high temperatures. The contour lines represent areas of equal surface temperature.
