Think of a football field What is the distance to the goal at this point? Isoline What is the distance to the goal at this point? The numbers represent distance to goal
Isoline "iso-" means "equal." Isoline -

Rules for drawing Isolines • __ • ___ Example: • 13°C • 13°C • 13°C • 11°C • 11°C • 11°C
3) __ • 5 • 3 • 4 • 3 • 1 • 2 • 2
4)___ Example: • 12°C • 13°C • 13°C • 12°C • 12°C • 11°C Wrong Way
5) ___ • 9°C • 9°C • 10°C • 10°C • 10°C • 10°C • 10°C • 9°C • 9°C • 9°C • 9°C Off the diagram Loop
Working with Isotherms Where is it the warmest? Source Sink Campfire
Source – Sink – Source Sink --------------------> Flows from source to sink Heat Source (high temperatures) Heat Sink (low temperature)
Let’s look at actual temperatures Draw Isolines at a 1°F Intervals .86°F .90°F .88°F .86°F .86°F .90°F .90°F .89°F .87°F .87°F
Let’s look at actual temperatures Draw isolines at a 2°F Intervals .86°F .85°F .81°F .83°F .86°F .84°F Heat Sink Heat Source .82°F .86°F .84°F .80°F Where is the heat source?
Gradient Change in field value between two place. Gradient = Change in Field Value Distance
90°F • 85°F Distance = 5m • 85°F • 80°F Remember the Formula Gradient = 10 = 2°F/m 5m Remember the Formula Gradient = Change in Field Value Distance Remember the Formula Gradient = 90-80 = 5m
FQ: What is wrong with the isolines below? • Final Question • 10°C • 10°C • 10°C • 9°C • 9°C
